Oppenheimer (2023)

180 minutes, theatrical cut. Christopher Nolan places scientific work, private loyalties and later institutional judgement in an unstable relationship, so each achievement keeps acquiring a different meaning. Cillian Murphy's inward performance gives the rapid changes of period an emotional anchor. The duration matters because the consequences refuse to stay inside the moment of invention. Expect dense dialogue, political manoeuvring and a sustained atmosphere of moral pressure.
