    Not as flashy or celebrated but it's gritty as hell. Straight-up psychological thriller with none of Nolan's usual gimmicks. It’s about guilt, obsession, and desperation in the most grounded way possible. It doesn’t need time bending or world-saving stakes, it just has a broken man losing his mind in the middle of nowhere..
    Pacino is great, Robin Williams is surprisingly eerie, but the whole thing drags at times. It’s atmospheric as hell but doesn’t hit as hard as it should, tension is there but it never fucking peaks. Pacino and Williams were cooking, but Nolan played it way too safe

Twists hit hard, pacing is tight, and there’s no unnecessary emotional bullshit—just a cold, brutal mind-fuck.
    Guy Pearce owns it. The ending (or beginning, whatever) still hurts. No fluff, no dumb exposition—just pure tension. I’ve lowered most of Nolan’s films on this rewatch, but this one still might be a 5-star. It’s ruthless, lean, and efficient

Love the way it signifies every scene, also love how Christopher Nolan portrays a human story that is VERY deep in personal level, i was curious at first how this story will tell in first-person view but I was actually felt like watching everyone in Oppenheimer's life as someone else and I am inside Oppenheimer eyes. This film gave us the best immersive quality to explore the humanness, the complexity, the unsure…
