    A gripping portrayal of the 1972 Munich Olympic tragedy, told through the lens of the ABC news crew.

    This film doesn’t let up for a moment - I felt like I was right there in the newsroom, experiencing the chaos and tension alongside them. It’s been a long time since a film pulled me in so completely that I forgot I was watching one, but this did exactly that.

    There may never be a perfect time to revisit such a politically charged event, but one thing remains undeniable: many innocent lives were lost. And here, their story is told with remarkable skill and intensity.

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★★

    Oppenheimer is a journey exploring one man's obsession, brilliance, and regret over his greatest achievement, although by the end, you're not so sure how great it truly is. In true Nolan fashion, we have the high-stakes story of building the first atom bomb, perfectly blended with a deep personal journey and a message that should make us all sit up and think. It's set in 1940s USA, but it's just as relevant today, given world politics. Immersive, stunning, and relentless. Highly recommended.
