We've got a lot to look forward to with the upcoming release of the highly anticipated movie, Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as the famed physicist. Following its premiere in Paris, attended by stars Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr., the first reactions to the film were allowed to be shared publicly.
Total Film's deputy editor Matt Maytum praised the film, saying it left him "stunned" and that it had "a sublime central performance by Cillian Murphy." The Telegraph's film critic Robbie Collin called it a "total knockout", and said that Christopher Nolan had "split his brain open like a twitchy plutonium nucleus".
The film centers around the American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the Manhattan Project, which produced the first nuclear weapons and were then used in the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Murphy's performance is already being praised as an Oscar front-runner, alongside the film. Freelance journalist Simon Thompson called his performance "awards worthy" and said that "every player in this rich ensemble cast is at the top of their game." Others are dubbing it Nolan's "masterpiece" and "a definite Oscar contender."
The movie is sure to bring a lot of excitement to the cinemas, as it will be released on the same day as Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig's live-action Barbie movie. Creatives behind both movies are encouraging their fans to see both if they can, and Murphy commented that "if they are good films, then that's cinema's gain."
We can certainly anticipate a lot of excitement come July 21 as Oppenheimer hits UK cinemas. We can be sure that we'll be getting a spectacular performance from Cillian Murphy with a star-studded cast, and an epic historical drama with a distinct Nolan sensibility. This is sure to be a movie we won't want to miss.
