Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer<\/em>, a three-hour historical drama starring Cillian Murphy, recently had its world premiere in Paris to much anticipation. The first reactions from the premiere and early screenings have been positive, with many critics praising Murphy’s performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the head of the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb during World War II. The film also features an A-list cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh.<\/p>\n\n\n

The film’s epic scope and complex characters have been praised, as has its exploration of the moral and ethical implications of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer<\/em> is definitely one of the most anticipated films of the year (just like every time Nolan comes out with a film), and the first reactions suggest that it will not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While formal reviews are still pending, early reactions on social media suggest that Christopher Nolan has delivered yet another masterpiece with Oppenheimer<\/em>. One example of these reviews are, \u201cChristopher Nolan\u2019s #Oppenheimer is truly a spectacular achievement, in its truthful, concise adaptation, inventive storytelling and nuanced performances from Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and the many, many others involved \u2014- some just for a scene,\u201d wrote Twitter<\/a> user and film critic Lindsey Bahr. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to talk about something as dense as this in something as silly as a tweet or thread but Oppenheimer really is a serious, philosophical, adult drama that\u2019s as tense and exciting as Dunkirk. And the big moment \u2013 THAT MOMENT \u2013 is awe inspiring.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers couldn’t get enough of Oppenheimer<\/em>, with one user (film and TV journalist Simon Thompson) tweeting, “#Oppenheimer is powerful stuff. Cillian Murphy\u2019s flawless awards worthy performance is next level. Every player in this rich ensemble cast is at the top of their game. Christopher Nolan\u2019s haunting opus is remarkable and Hoyte van Hoytema\u2018s execution of his vision is breathtaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

“Am torn between being all coy and mysterious about Oppenheimer and just coming out and saying it\u2019s a total knockout that split my brain open like a twitchy plutonium nucleus and left me sobbing through the end credits like I can\u2019t even remember what else. And for all those who\u2019ve groused about the lack of sex in Christopher Nolan\u2019s earlier work\u2026boy oh BOY, are you getting some sex as only Nolan could stage it in this one.\u201d<\/p>\nTelegraph film critic Robbie Collins<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The reviews for Christopher Nolan’s recent cinematic “masterpiece” have been incredibly and overwhelmingly positive (as expected). Josh Horowitz, who is the host of Happy Sad Confused, tweeted<\/a>, \u201cOPPENHEIMER is one of if not Nolan\u2019s best work. And that comes from a huge Nolan admirer. I\u2019ve see it twice. Impeccable immersive filmmaking of the highest order. Cillian Murphy gets the role he deserves. In love with Downey\u2019s work. This one demands your attention.\u201d He then further added<\/a> more praise for Robert, saying: \u201cI\u2019m ready for a full on awards season for @RobertDowneyJr . His work in OPPENHEIMER is STELLAR and the reminder we didn\u2019t need that he\u2019s one of our best actors and movie stars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Jonathan Dean from The Sunday Times wrote<\/a>, \u201cTotally absorbed in OPPENHEIMER, a dense, talkie, tense film partly about the bomb, mostly about how doomed we are. Happy summer! Murphy is good, but the support essential: Damon, Downey Jr & Ehrenreich even bring gags. An audacious, inventive, complex film to rattle its audience.\u201d He then commented, \u201cThe downside? The women are badly served \u2013 Emily Blunt only once gets out of her stressed mother role. But it\u2019s straight into my Nolan top three, alongside Memento & The Prestige.\u201d Total Film\u2019s Matt Maytum also weighed in on the matter tweeting<\/a>, \u201c#Oppenheimer left me stunned: a character study on the grandest scale, with a sublime central performance by Cillian Murphy. An epic historical drama but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the tension, structure, sense of scale, startling sound design, remarkable visuals. Wow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
