Gelukkig krijgen de mensen een voorproefje van wat ze kunnen verwachten, aangezien het reactie-embargo is eindelijk opgeheven. En de media mochten dus na gisteravond hun ongezouten mening geven.
Ongelooflijk, episch, spectaculair
De eerste reacties zijn dan ook weer lovend. Nu is dat wel vaker zo, maar bij Nolan kan je ervanuit gaan dat het ook zo blijft na de release.
Critici die de film hebben mogen aanschouwen, merken zowel het krachtige verhaal als de ongelooflijke acteerprestaties van de castleden op. Sommigen noemen het zelfs 'Nolans beste werk tot nu toe'.
Een complexe en totale knockout
OPPENHEIMER is...incredible. The word that keeps coming to mind is "fearsome." A relentlessly paced, insanely detailed, intricate historical drama that builds and builds and builds until Nolan brings the hammer down in the most astonishing, shattering way.

#Oppenheimer left me stunned: a character study on the grandest scale, with a sublime central performance by Cillian Murphy. An epic historical drama but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the tension, structure, sense of scale, startling sound design, remarkable visuals. Wow

Christopher Nolan's #Oppenheimer is truly a spectacular achievement, in its truthful, concise adaptation, inventive storytelling and nuanced performances from Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and the many, many others involved --- some just for a scene.

Am torn between being all coy and mysterious about Oppenheimer and just coming out and saying it's a total knockout that split my brain open like a twitchy plutonium nucleus and left me sobbing through the end credits like I can't even remember what else.

Totally absorbed in OPPENHEIMER, a dense, talkie, tense film partly about the bomb, mostly about how doomed we are. Happy summer! Murphy is good, but the support essential: Damon, Downey Jr & Ehrenreich even bring gags. An audacious, inventive, complex film to rattle its audience

#Oppenheimer is powerful stuff. Cillian Murphy's flawless awards worthy performance is next level. 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 execution of his vision is breathtaking. pic.twitter.com/oRFAVM64Kg
