Movie review - "Oppenheimer" (2023) ****1/2

 I loved it. Big, bold, long, tackles huge issues, shoves in stars. Oh, it's Remi Malek. Oh, it's Gary Oldman as Truman. Puts in a few Florence Pugh nude scenes to break things up. And some special effects. Doesn't leave Oppenheimer's POV except in key bits.

Very well cast. Emily Blunt does excellent in a not much part. Everyone is good. Lots of nerds.

Plays with expectations. Like a sports film - getting the team together, building a bomb. Creates sympathy for Downer Jnr then flips it.
