Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer

★★★★

While a great biopic, this will probably fall in the bottom half of Nolan's filmography, which is more a testament to the quality of his work. Great performances by the entire cast, and I loved to see Nolan make something a bit smaller scale this time, even if the subject matter was about as big as it gets.

It's a weird movie in that while it ostensibly is about Oppenheimer, it is in it's own way a disaster movie, concerned with the end of the world, just an end that hasn't happened quite yet.

Literally the best movie ever. No, not a movie. Cinematic experience. This is a film like no other.

A film like this one being as big as it is almost feels like a miracle, especially when it seems like the biggest movies of the past few years are always based on an established property (even this year, Barbie and The Super Mario Bros. Movie fit this bill perfectly). But Oppenheimer feels like it's a whole other thing entirely - the sort that I didn't think Christopher Nolan was capable of even though I'd already found him to be…
