Oppenheimer 2023 review

Oppenheimer (2023)

Christopher Nolan’s 2023 Manhattan Project biopic. Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer. Won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.

Henry v 1989 review

Henry V (1989)

Kenneth Branagh’s 1989 directorial debut. Mud and blood Agincourt rather than Olivier’s pageantry. Once more unto the breach.

Dunkirk 2017 review

Dunkirk (2017)

2017 Christopher Nolan WWII film. Three timelines covering the 1940 evacuation from the Dunkirk beaches. Sparse dialogue, sustained tension.
