Oppenheimer

Three hours of theoretical physics and political fallout never hit this hard. Oppenheimer is Nolan’s slowest burn—and biggest bang—yet. With a stacked cast, ticking sound design, and Cillian Murphy staring straight into the abyss, it turned the father of the atomic bomb into the year’s most gripping character study. It's not just a biopic—it’s a moral detonation wrapped in a prestige film, delivered like a cinematic gut punch. Nobel Prize in screen tension? Sounds about right.
