This must be the most overrated film of the year.
Like every other typical American biographical movie, it glorifies its subject. According to Nolan, Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. Really?
The movie contains at least 1.5 hours of uninteresting courtroom drama.
There are far too many characters.
Not a single compelling dialogue about the moral impact of the bomb.
The continuous music propels the film, but as a result there is zero emotional impact when needed.
Excellent acting by all, though, and occasional nice directorial effects.
Most ridiculous moment of the film: While having sex with Oppenheimer, Florence Pughs character randomly selects a sentence in a book in Sanskrit which just happens to be the infamous "Now I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds" quote.
