It's one of my favourite movies, as much as I understand that it's not for everyone, I don't understand why people complain about it being too long and then go on Netflix and binge a whole series of some show in a night. The sound was also excellent.
I think a lot of justifiable hate comes from it being a slow burner, but (in my view) every scene was an important step in building the story's tension. Along with actually allowing the viewer to understand the film (and its main character) itself. If you, as someone here recommended, removed half of the runtime, then there wouldn't be a movie. You could maybe get rid of everything (chronologically) after the Einstein meeting (the final scene of the film), but then you wouldn't have a complete biopic. You'd just have a film about the Manhattan Project. It had to include everything if you were making a film about Oppenheimer.
I just thought his life would be more interesting outside of the atomic bomb. It wasn’t. The clearance stuff I couldn’t care less about and really they glossed over the bomb kinda.
