A small group of journalists had the privilege of attending the screening of Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated biopic “Oppenheimer,” and the initial reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Acclaimed Irish actor Cillian Murphy, aged 47, takes on the role of Robert J Oppenheimer, often referred to as “the father of the atomic bomb.” The film also features a star-studded ensemble cast, with Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, and Robert Downey Jr. playing significant roles.
During a photocall before the premiere at the Grand Rex in Paris, Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt posed for photographs, creating a buzz among fans and the media. Christopher Nolan, known for his directorial prowess, expressed his confidence in the exceptional performances delivered by the actors at the premiere, stating that audiences will undoubtedly be impressed. He emphasized the intensity and seriousness of the subject matter, revealing the passion and dedication poured into the film by the entire team.
The early viewers of “Oppenheimer” were indeed captivated by the film. Writer and producer Ben Mekler called it Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece, praising the chilling and galvanizing spectacle brought to life by astounding performances. Lindsey Bahr of the Associated Press lauded the movie as a remarkable achievement, commending the truthful and concise adaptation, inventive storytelling, and nuanced performances by the cast.
Matt Maytum, deputy editor of Total Film, described “Oppenheimer” as an epic historical drama with a distinct Nolan sensibility. He praised Cillian Murphy’s sublime central performance, while also acknowledging the tension, structure, scale, sound design, and visuals that contribute to its excellence. Jonathan Dean of The Sunday Times hailed the film as an audacious and inventive character study, featuring a dense yet gripping narrative that explores the notion of doom. Dean also commended the impressive performances of Damon, Downey Jr, and Ehrenreich, highlighting their ability to balance the film’s serious themes with moments of levity.
The inspiration for “Oppenheimer” comes from the 2005 biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin. Bird recently expressed his astonishment and emotional recovery after watching the film during an academic discussion. The director, Christopher Nolan, previously hinted that “Oppenheimer” has left early viewers devastated, attributing this reaction to the underlying fear and historical significance embedded within the story.
In addition to the mentioned stars, “Oppenheimer” boasts an impressive cast that includes Rami Malek, Gary Oldman, Dane DeHaan, Josh Hartnett, Kenneth Branagh, Matthew Modine, Casey Affleck, Alden Ehrenreich, and Jason Clarke. Interestingly, “Oppenheimer” shares its release date, 21 July, with Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” As a result, enthusiastic fans are already making plans to watch both films consecutively. The trend, dubbed “Barbenheimer,” has gained popularity, even receiving public support from Cillian Murphy, Margot Robbie, and Tom Cruise.
