Oppenheimer: Cillian Murphy makes powerful impact in atomic epic
By Paul GlynnEntertainment reporter
Critics have given positive reviews to Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan 's sweeping new biographical thriller about the " father of the atomic bomb".
The Film features an all-star ensemble cast led by Cillian Murphy as the US physicist, J Robert Oppenheimer.
The Independent called the " clever, imaginative" film Nolan " at his best" while the Telegraph said actor Murphy " dazzles as The Destroyer of worlds".
The Guardian 's Peter Bradshaw deemed The Movie " flawed, but extraordinary".
Inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus : The Triumph And Tragedy Of J Robert Oppenheimer, The Film tells The Story of the enigmatic Manhattan Project scientist, who had a leading role in developing the atomic bomb, changing The Course of World War II.
He " gave us The Power to destroy ourselves and That had Never Happened before" director
Commissioned by the US Government, who saw themselves in a nuclear race with The Nazis , in 1945 scientists in New Mexico detonated a test bomb, codenamed Trinity.
Their invention was later used, controversially, to end The War , when an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to devastating effect.
Saying : " Nolan's portrait of The Father of the nuclear bomb is a triumph, like witnessing history itself being split open. "
" Oppenheimer is a film That works simultaneously on The Most intimate and cosmic scales, " he wrote.
" It's at once a speeding rollercoaster and a skin-tingling spiritual portrait; an often, classically-minded Period Piece That only Nolan could have made, and only now, after a quarter-century's run-up. "
He added: " Playing Oppenheimer from his early 20s to late 50s, the 47-year-old Murphy gives The Performance of his life, imbuing Oppenheimer's body with an enthralling nervous eroticism and his voice with a noirish musicality That reminds you of [Humphrey] Bogart. "
Murphy " compelling throughout".
" A masterfully constructed character study from a great director operating on a whole new level. A film That you don't merely watch, but must reckon with. "
, Bradshaw said The Film " captures The Most agonising of success stories".
" This is the big bang, and No One could have made it bigger or more overwhelming than Nolan, " he wrote.
" He does this without simply turning it into an action Stunt - although this movie, for all its audacity and ambition, never quite solves The Problem of its own obtuseness: filling the drama at such length with the torment of genius-functionary Oppenheimer at the expense of showing the Japanese experience and The People of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "
He described Murphy as " an eerily close lookalike for Oppenheimer. . Very good at capturing his sense of solitude and emotional imprisonment".
hailed Murphy 's performance as " explosive in a breathtaking movie".
That the " dark, immersive epic gives Cillian Murphy The Role of his career".
Speaking ahead of The Film 's release, the Irish star told journalists The Role had taken " a toll" on him " but in a brilliant way".
" It was the biggest, most exhilarating challenge, " He Said .
Co-star Matt Damon revealed he had told his wife he would take a break from acting, unless " Chris Nolan called".
Nolan is best known for his Dark Knight trilogy, as well as Films including Inception, Dunkirk and Tenet. He makes history with Oppenheimer - which also features Emily Blunt , Florence Pugh and Robert Downey Jr - as The First film with sequences shot on black and white IMAX film.
of America's ability to create and destroy its heroes. "
While the four-act structure " asks a lot of The Film 's audience" he commented " our patience and concentration are amply rewarded".
Handing The Film Four Stars , The Independent 's called Oppenheimer " Nolan's best and most revealing work".
" It's a profoundly unnerving story told with a traditionalist's eye towards craftsmanship and muscular, cinematic imagination. "
She praised its non-linear structure - a common feature of Nolan Films - and its " beautifully lensed" cinematography, but added: " It's a little too conscious of itself, and The Ways cinema crafts its own reality. "
is " big, loud, and a must-see" describing it as " thrilling and wonky, brilliant and overstuffed, too much and not enough".
Speaking after the New York premiere, fellow filmmaker Paul Schrader , who wrote the Martin Scorsese-directed Taxi Driver , hailed Oppenheimer as " The Best , most important film of this century".
" If you see one film in cinemas this year it should be Oppenheimer" . " I'm not a Nolan groupie but this one blows The Door off the hinges. "
