  Not the greatest thing ever, but interesting to see how a Netflix Original Italian mini-series would adapt Lampedusa (and Visconti).

  Good screenplay, and great acting from Cillian Murphy. Love how the bomb test sequence was done. Does a great job at really diving into Oppenheimer.

  Ludwig Gorannson creates a mock Hans Zimmer soundtrack, which fits, but doesn’t feel original. Emily Blunt is awful in this. She does a poor job…
