    Excellent, excellent. I would have to call myself a Nolan fan, since as much as it was hard to hear and follow Tenet I still find myself wanting to watch it again. Of course it wouldn’t be a Nolan film if there wasn’t some time skipping around, I liked the use of black and white for the “future” parts which eventually changed to color when the main narrative caught up. I believe he did that in Memento as well.

    Cillian Murphy absolutely killed it, I really enjoyed him and Matt Damon together. A lot of strong performances also from RDJ and Emily Blunt as other has mentioned. I really believed Oppie was talking shit to Einstein from the way RDJ described it, he was able to transfer his self importance onto me as well.

    Overall it has me wanting to know more about the history of Oppenheimer and the whole event, which I don’t know if that is the point of a biopic but hey that’s cool. Of course it is not completely accurate to what happened but I wondered which parts are closer to the truth than others.
