Movie Review: A bomb and its fallout in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’

Associated Press  

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is a kinetic thing of dark, imposing beauty that quakes with the disquieting tremors of a forever rupture in the course of human history. But for all the immensity of “Oppenheimer,” this is Nolan’s most human-scaled film — and one of his greatest achievements. For a filmmaker synonymous with grand architectures — psychologies mapped onto subconscious worlds and cosmic reaches — “Oppenheimer” resides more simply in its subject’s fertile imagination and anguished psyche. “Oppenheimer” sticks almost entirely to its protagonist’s point of view yet also populates its three-hour film with an incredible array of faces, all in exquisite detail.
