‘Oppenheimer’ review: Impactful sound and fury in biopic from Christopher Nolan

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:00:48 GMT

“Oppenheimer” is the biopic only Christopher Nolan could make, a three-hour experience with the ability to hold your gaze — and your full attention — while the fury of its sound rattles the theater auditorium in which you sit.The director of “Dunkirk,” “Inception,” “Tenet” and several other noteworthy films, Nolan is both the director and writer of the film, adapting it from Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer.”He offers a deep dive into the psyche of the theoretical physicist who led the U.S. government’s Manhattan Project during World War II and became known as “the father of the atomic bomb,” an examination that at times is served with near-nuclear force.It is incredible.Cillian Murphy — who has appeared in numerous Nolan films, including “The Dark Knight” Trilogy, but has never been front and center — portrays the titular figure with a steady and subtle touch. It is not a p...
