Early Reactions To ‘Oppenheimer’ Praise Atomic Bomb Film: A ‘Spectacular Achievement’
By Website Content Manager
Early reviews for the highly anticipated historical drama “Oppenheimer” are positive so far.
Universal Pictures will release the three-hour film, which details how the titular star, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), changed the face of warfare forever as the “father of the atomic bomb.”
“Like it or not, J. Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. He made the world we live in, for better or for worse,” Nolan told the crowd at CinemaCon in April.
The director also described the movie as a “wild ride” which explored “literally the most dramatic moment in history” during an interview with Wired.
Writing for the Los Angeles Times, critic Kenneth Turan said “Oppenheimer” was “arguably Nolan’s most impressive work yet in the way it combines his acknowledged visual mastery with one of the deepest character dives in recent American cinema.”
