Delve deeper into the unparalleled filmmaking behind OPPENHEIMER with an extensive collection of special features, including the global debut of “The Story of Our Time: The Making of Oppenheimer.” This 70+ minute immersive piece showcases exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and extensive interviews with Nolan and his creative collaborators…
Written for the screen and directed by Christopher Nolan, OPPENHEIMER, thrusts audiences into the mind of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), whose landmark work as the director of the Manhattan Project’s Los Alamos Laboratory created the first atomic bomb.
Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr, and Matt Damon each give stellar performances. With this much dialogue you can’t have people simply regurgitating lines. The characters have to draw you in or else it is just an audio book. Much of the weight falls on Murphy who must embody Oppie. And he does. This could be the performance of his career. Mainly because the person of Oppenheimer is not larger than life. He was very soft spoken, reserved, and thoughtful. To be able to make that type of a character pop on screen while still being subtle is an art. – Read my full theatrical review here
