The story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who led the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb.

Nolan’s direction is masterful, and he uses his trademark visual style to create a film that is both visually arresting and intellectually stimulating. The film’s use of IMAX cameras and black-and-white cinematography is particularly effective, and the film’s many montages are both visually stunning and emotionally powerful.

The performances are all top-notch, but Cillian Murphy is particularly noteworthy.

Emily Blunt is also excellent as his wife, Katherine, and the supporting cast is uniformly strong.

It is a film that forces us to confront the dark side of human ingenuity, and it is a film that will stay with you long after you have seen it.
