Reader takes
-
Saw it in 70mm because everyone said I had to. The Trinity sequence still sits behind my eyes. I cared less about the Strauss confirmation theatrics than the way the film traps you inside Oppenheimer’s guilt without offering a courtroom tidy-up. Long, yes — but I never checked the time. Pair with the true-story guide if you want the book gaps filled in.
