December 10, 2021 at 3:28 pmI guess there’s alot of hit films about brilliant scientists in war… The Damn Busters and The Imitation Game for instance. But what could be more dramatic than a film about Oppenheimer and the ethics of inventing the atom bomb. What kind of reception is it going to get? Surely won’t be middle of the road.
