I somehow both really enjoyed this film, while simultaneously extremely infuriated by it. It was very funny and genuine, by moments. It did also feel extremely forced and heavy handed with it's storytelling.

Oppenheimer 2023
Nolan's best film since Interstellar. Had some really high highs but also had a few minor issues that if tweaked or removed would've made the film so much more enjoyable. My biggest issue is with the pacing. Never have I seen a film that both felt like it was rushing everything but also somehow dragged. Great score, great performances all round (especially Emily Blunt and Downey Jr). Pretty good movie that was massively overhyped. The subject matter, questions it raises, and reading about the really life historical event is way more memorable, provocative, and interesting then the film itself sadly.
