Reviews
“Smoky black-and-white and color with impeccable production design. A gaunt-looking, fedora-wearing Cillian Murphy is a dead ringer for Oppenheimer, and he has the haunted air of a man who unleashed an awesome weapon, a destroyer of worlds.”Variety.
“This one will demand the biggest screen possible; Director Christopher Nolan even used real-world physical effects to recreate the detonation of a whole-ass nuclear bomb. (And you thought Tom Cruise was crazy.)” CQ magazine.
