My husband really wanted to see this movie. Heโs a huge fan of the director and a history buff. I was worried that I might fall asleep and even considered going to see Barbie while he was watching Oppenheimer. Not only did I stay awake and glued to the screen, I never even considered a quick trip to the restroom even though I consumed a rather large soda.
There were so many memorable scenes and performances throughout the entire movie that I feel sorry for all the other films that will be in competition with Oppenheimer.
Robert Downey Jr. was being outstanding. Matt Damon acted his socks off, Cillian Murphy, of course was stellar, Emily Blount, fantastic, Rami Malek needed more screen time but he put in the work when needed.
I fan-girled over Josh Peck! Iโm so proud of him going from child actor to this masterpiece.
It was so, so good.
