I finally saw Oppenheimer last night. Verdict? It cmopl * completely met and even slightly exceeded expectations, much like the Trinity test. While being somewhat familiar with the history as a person brought up through the good kind of public schools and whatever cable channel would have some WW2 thing on at my grandparents house, I came to this film as more a Nolan fan. Nolan is one of three or four directors that's allowed full control, or at least it seems that way. Anyways, the film. It is photographed beautifully, you could teach undergrad lighting from this movie alone. Murphy is fantastic as is almost the entire cast. I felt RDJ was a bit of a try hard, but who wouodn't be after spending ten years as Iron Man. All an * all in all a riveting piece, beatufully paced and editi edited, does not feel as long as the run tinme. It'll take best picture, and be deserving. Not a top ten film of all time, but itll
