Oppenheimer’s Terrifying Chain Reactions

Sometimes I do wonder if we dreamt the whole Barbenheimer thing. I really do. I too felt Dana’s “haze of generalized goodwill” that weekend (and beyond), especially because, as she notes, I was completely wowed by Oppenheimer, which is an easy movie with which to get obsessed. Christopher Nolan understands how to give us just enough information to keep us riveted while also making it clear there’s a whole lot more to see with subsequent viewings.
