  All the stuff about the mob and Scorsese’s other movies and deconstruction blah blah blah doesn’t get near the center of this movie. For me, any explanation of this movie has to involve one scene: Deniro in his nursing home watching the Kosovo war on TV. This movie is about none of it ever having a point.

This makes the movie ultimately an exercise in uselessness because like usual Nolan has nothing to say outside of form. The movie is so focused on Oppenheimer the person who seems to have a complete lack of any conviction and since Nolan refuses to add any of his own, the whole thing amounts to the same murky stupidity which ultimately defines Oppenheimers legacy.
