Christopher Nolan’s latest film Oppenheimer had its world premiere in Paris.Critics who participated in a lecture that lasted about 3 hours sieving praised the film, particularly Cillian Murphy’s performance. The review used expressions such as “awe-inspiring” and “amazing” sights. Expectations have certainly risen to considerable levels.
Total Film editor Matt Matam said he was “stunned” by the film. He called Cillian Murphy’s performance “sublime”. Despite being an epic historical drama, “Oppenheimer” has a unique Nolan sensibility. The tension, structure, scale, stunning visuals, and impressive sound design put this film high in Nolan’s filmography.
Jonathan Dean of The Sunday Times was completely enamored with the film. he called it “This dense, talky and tense film is partly about bombs and mostly about how doomed we are.” he added, “Murphy is great, but support is essential. Damon, Downey Jr., and Ehrenreich bring gags too.Bold, original and complex films that excite audiencesDean named “Oppenheimer” among Nolan’s top three films, along with “Memento” and “Prestige.”

A tweet by Vulture’s Bilge Ebiri makes the perfect micro-review of the film. he writes, “Oppenheimer is… unbelievable. The word that comes to mind is “scary”.A relentlessly paced, highly detailed and complex historical drama that builds and builds and builds until Nolan strikes it down in the most amazing and devastating way.”
#oppenheimer I was stunned by the grandest scale of characterization, accompanied by a sublime central performance by Cillian Murphy. An epic historical drama, but with a decidedly Nolan sensibility: tension, structure, scale, amazing sound design, and amazing visuals.oh

Oppenheimer was completely absorbed in a dense talkie, tense film that was partly about bombs and mostly about how doomed we are. Happy summer! Murphy is good, but support is essential. Damon, Downey Jr. and Ehrenreich bring their gags.Bold, original and complex films that excite audiences

#oppenheimer Amazing in every sense of the word. It may sound silly to say this about a Chris Nolan movie that isn’t Inception, Dunkirk, or even Tenet, but this is his most formal film to date. It can be a bold piece of work.Sharp script, flawless sound design, and Cillian Murphy is ‘a force’

Christopher Nolan’s #oppenheimer It’s great, it’s big and it’s bold, it features moving performances and incredibly intuitive pacing. It’s both quietly intimate and a ferocious cinematic experience. See it in IMAX 70mm and it will be one of my favorite watches of 2023 pic.twitter.com/GAZWiPEgFW

Associated Press film writer Lindsay Burr called “Oppenheimer” a “great achievement.” She emphasized the film’s serious, philosophical and adult nature, comparing its tension and excitement to “Dunkirk.” Burr was particularly fascinated by certain moments in the film that she thought were awe-inspiring.
Oppenheimer is set to closely share the reveal of a Barbie doll featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on July 21st. But with such an overwhelmingly positive response, it doesn’t look like the film will have much trouble making a big impact.
