Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was one of the best films of 2023, if not the best.
The film had none of the elements that usually make audiences cheer. It had no superheroes, special effects, stunts, or any spectacle. Instead, it was bleak, was partly in black and white, and mostly had people talking in closed rooms.
Yet the film earned $975 million at the global box office and universal acclaim from critics. It won most of the awards, including top prizes at the Oscars for direction, writing, and acting.
