It's barbenheimer time! Film critic DMorris_Star takes a look at BarbieTheMovie and Oppenheimer - both out today.
Matt Damon stars as Leslie Groves and Cillian Murphy takes up the mantle of the father of the atomic bomb himself in Oppenheimer
And then, of course, there was Inception – nothing less than an absolute dream of a flick that is one of the closest things to a perfect movie ever to have been made. With 2017’s Dunkirk, Nolan succeeded in making the highest-grossing World War II film of all time, and what many critics have described as his finest flick to date.
Different palettes elegantly navigate two timelines and juxtapose the theorical physicist’s rise and fall during the dark days of the McCarthy witch-hunts. Groves appoints Oppenheimer as scientific director despite his personal ties to Communist Party members including younger brother Frank and American physicist Jean Tatlock .
Blunt and Downey Jr catalyse strong support and Swedish composer Ludwig Goransson, who worked on Nolan’s last picture Tenet, complements dazzling visuals with a bombastic score that seems to rattle every fixture and fitting of the cinema. The fuse of Nolan’s picture may be three hours long and winding but when the beautifully arranged atoms of Oppenheimer collide, tension builds and ultimately detonates with meticulously engineered and unstoppable force.
Gerwig’s picture glides through decades of toy history dating back to the late 1950s and affectionately pokes fun at commercial misfires such as the Growing Up Skipper doll, whose breasts enlarged when you rotated her arms. The titular blonde suffers an existential crisis that includes nagging thoughts of death and an opportunity to ditch her high heels for – gasp – sensible flat-soled footwear.
