Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical thriller film written, directed, and co-produced by Christopher Nolan. It follows the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons during World War II. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film chronicles Oppenheimer s studies, his direction of the Los Alamos Laboratory, and his fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing. Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, alongside Robert Downey Jr. as the United States Atomic Energy Commission member Lewis Strauss. The ensemble supporting cast includes Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh. Oppenheimer was announced in September 2021. It is Nolan s first film not distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures since Memento (2000), due to his conflicts regarding the studio s simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release schedule. Murphy was the first cast member to sign on the following month, with the rest joining between November 2021 and April 2022. Pre-production began by January 2022, and filming took place from February to May. The cinematographer, Hoyte van Hoytema, used a combination of IMAX 65 mm and 65 mm large-format film, including, for the first time, scenes in IMAX black-and-white film photography. As with many of his previous films, Nolan used extensive practical effects, with minimal compositing. Oppenheimer premiered at Le Grand Rex in Paris on July 11, 2023, and was theatrically released in the US and the UK ten days later by Universal. Its concurrent release with Warner Bros. s Barbie was the catalyst of the Barbenheimer phenomenon, encouraging audiences to see both films as a double feature. Oppenheimer grossed over $964 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2023, the highest-grossing World War II-related film, the highest-grossing biographical film, and the second-highest-grossing R-rated film. Among its many accolades, Oppenheimer won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Murphy, and Best Supporting Actor for Downey. The film also won five Golden Globe Awards (including Best Motion Picture – Drama) and seven British Academy Film Awards (including Best Film), and was named one of the top ten films of 2023 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute.

Matt Wayt
Nolan isnt ignoring the lives destroyed; he just doesnt want to dramatize them for the sake of pathos thats already in the movie. ( Read More )
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
His amazing performance sweeps across 40 years of academic competition, political chicanery, courtroom drama, espionage, right wing paranoia, antisemitism, technological advance, and ethical debate. ( Read More )
Sergio Burstein
What he has put before our eyes definitively deserves to be seen, as does Cillian Murphys performance in the role of Oppenheimer and the irreconcilable but fantastic Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Lewis Strauss. ( Read More )
Griffin Schiller
most stirring plea to humanity yet. A three hour drama that plays like a terse thriller, weaving Nolans deep seated fears for the survival of our species through a biography of one of its most significant and controversial figures. ( Read More )
To be fair, Oppenheimer is a sizable step up from Tenet, Nolans impenetrable 2020 thriller thats toppled by its convoluted time hopping spy games. ( Read More )
