Review
Oppenheimer mentioned that the first hour of the film might be challenging to follow. It presents a lot of information and quickly introduces various names, places, and events. The movie covers Robert’s teaching days, where he introduced quantum mechanics to the US, his association with the communist party, his complex relationship with Jean Tatlock (played by Florence Pugh), his involvement in the war against the Nazis, and his contribution to the Manhattan Project. It demands full attention from the audience to keep up with everything happening on screen. Oppenheimer doesn’t merely tell a story; it expects the viewers to be familiar with the historical context to fully engage with it.
Rating – 4.9/5
