Given the times in which we find ourselves, perhaps it's not surprising that Nolan would find himself drawn to the story of the man who is immortalised in infamy as the father of The Bomb, and if nothing else this cinematic masterpiece will only further galvanise Oppenheimer's place in history. Every element of this is exquisitely considered, which is not to say that the chaotically purposeful editing and heightened artistry in cinematography is always comfortable viewing, rather the deliberate uneasiness underscores the thematic commentary and characterisation to produce a profoundly poignant experience that is awesome in the true sense of the word. 9.34/10
