Review of Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
7/10
Very good, not the masterpiece some are claiming it is.
21 March 2024
Let me start by saying that this is a very, very good movie. The cinematography is fantastic, the actors are doing a terrific job, and the directing is top notch of course even if, like me, you may disagree with some of the choices. Back to acting performances, Cillian Murphy truly does deserve all the praise he got for this movie, but all the supporting cast is equally talented; for example this is the first time in years Robert Downey Junior does not immediately conjure up Tony Stark.

I do have issues with the time jumps. Honestly it is a strange choice here that is confusing, and do not necessarily bring anything additional to the story telling; moreover it causes us to take a lot longer than necessary to fully get into the movie at first. Which also doesn't help with the fact that it is a very long movie, with many scenes that could have been much shorter without any loss in quality.

So all in all, any cinephile should watch this movie and I do recommend it, but I can see why it might not satisfy a certain audience.
