Oppenheimer 2023
"Albert? When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world..."
"I remember it well. What of it?"
"I believe we did."
I went into Oppenheimer expecting to find it overrated, but no, it deserves all the accolades it's getting. This is my 900th film and what a film it is to mark the occasion.

No. But I don't care much at all because it's effortlessly absorbing and satisfying. Weaving timelines together like a messy but gorgeous abstract painting, Nolan knows how…
