Oppenheimer first reactions call it a masterpiece full of Oscar-worthy performances
Cillian Murphy's performance has been lauded

The fi🌞rst reactions to Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer are here – and people are absolutely floored.
Cillian Murphy stars as J. R🐈obert Oppenheimer, an American theoretical physicist and head of the secret Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II – and the man who developed the atom bomb. He was heavily involved with the Manhattan Project, which is credited with developing the first nuclear weapons used to bomb the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Total Film's Matt Maytum."Oppenheimer is powerful stuff. Cillian Murphy’s flawless awards-worthy performance is next l🔥evel. Every player in this rich ensemble cast is at the top of their game. Christopher Nolan’s haunting opus is remarkable and Hoyte van Hoytema‘s execꦑution of his vision is breathtaking," Simon Thomson.
"I'd go so far to say this is ✅Nolan's darkest, most somber movꦿie (can't believe anyone seriously thinks #Oppenheimer will end up being "pro-bomb" lol) but somehow it's his funniest and wittiest too? Either way, it's just so thrilling to see him still learning new tricks as he goes," Slash Film's Jeremy Mathai.
#Oppenheimer left me stunned: a character study on the grandest scale, with a sublime central performance by Cillian Mur💝phy. An epic historical drama but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the tensi🅰on, structure, sense of scale, startling sound design, remarkable visuals. Wow
"I think #Oppenheimer is Nolan’s JFK. And I LOVE LOVE 𝓰LOVE JFK. Cillian Murphy mesmerizes in a star-studded moral quandary about Scientific Theory becoming deadly fact. The entire cast is outstanding, and while the history is DENSE, it’s Nolan’s most streamlined and accessible," Cinemablend editor Sean O'Connell.
"The word that keeps coming to mind is 'fearsome.' A relentlessly paced, insanely detailed, intricate historical drama that builds and builds aꦦnd builds until Nolan🅠 brings the hammer down in the most astonishing, shattering way," writer and filmmaker Bilge Ebiri.

"A bold, tragic look inside humanity’s darkest hour. Riveting, world-class performances & breathtaking imagery th🐼at blows a load of emotio⭕n inside you. Not just another biopic, it’s the best historical movie ever! A fitting end," The Atom Review.
"Christopher Nolan's #Oppenheimer is an immense achievement and his best movie in over a decade. It's stunning how 🐟immersive (and accurate) the film is with its history - as it is ultimately disturbing due to its implications for our world and future. See it on the biggest screen," Den of Geek editor David Crow.
