First teaser poster for Christopher Nolan's, Oppenheimer

Finally got around to seeing this one, and it was fantastic.

The performances, (especially Murphy, Downey Jr, and Blunt) direction, script, cinematography, editing, music, all superb.

It beautifully portrays the apocalyptic nature of nuclear weapons and the psychology of the people involved, the setting is realized well, and while the runtime is long it never dragged or felt anything less than engrossing.

If this had come out in 2022, 2021, or most recent years it would have been by film of the year. It just so happened to come out the same year as one of my all time favourite films, Godzilla Minus One, which funnily enough is also about the atom bomb.
