@wilberfan@mancy Oppenheimer represented Nolan’s strengths and weaknesses as a filmmaker.
Nolan has never been afraid to challenge his audience intellectually, so the scenes where smart characters are engaged into rigorous scientific debate is where Oppenheimer works. For audiences who enjoyed Apollo 13, A Dangerous Mind and Hidden Figures, this film fits snugly into that category.
But the characters are outdated stereotypes, especially the women, wasting the talents of Pugh and Blunt.
