Oppenheimer reviews

Post by Mister Tee »

Strong reviews incoming.

Interesting question: both this and Killers of the Flower Moon are now established as critically hailed. In an earlier time, that would make each prime best picture bait. But do Academy voters still look for such films to win their top prize? They've passed on things like Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty, Dunkirk and The Irishman. Even 12 Years a Slave limped to victory. Has the voting pool changed to the point where they're more likely to go with a genre piece, like Argo/The Shape of Water/Parasite, than what used to be natural Oscar bait?

Back to this film: it certainly appears a major work.
