Brace yourself for a lot of talking. The film reminded me of Drive My Car. Similar to Drive My Car, a lot of the film is presented in narrative format. You can still expect that signature Christopher Nolan flare. That non-linear storytelling. The topic of the film is a little dry. But Christopher Nolan was able to work that Christopher Nolan magic and make it entertaining. If there is any man, it's Christopher Nolan. He can make a mundane topic interesting. I was not annoyed by Cillian Murphy. When I wrote my review for Dunkirk, I complained about how I don't like Cillian Murphy. He was not irritable in this film. Emily Blunt is one of the most talented actresses in the game right now. One of my favorite scenes from the film is in the interrogation room, when Kitty, Emily Blunt's character, defended Oppenheimer. The way she spoke was so satisfying to watch. All in all, not the best. Also not the worst.
