It's isn't a masterpiece. It's a decent biopic about an interesting person, has some good performances, and it's probably about 30 minutes too long.
Much better than some of Nolan's recent outings where he's disappeared up his own backside trying to be overly "clever" so his fans can feel smarter than they actually are.
The movie does well to take subjects like quantum physics and not become bogged down in trying to stroke it's own intellectual ego.
It will be a surprise if Murphy and Downey Jr aren't front runners for acting awards in 6 months. Others like Emily Blunt are very good but have too little screentime to really get into their roles.
