    Oppenheimer tells a possibly dull subject in an engaging way, similar to the most gripping political thrillers, all thanks to Nolan's distinctive approach. If presented linearly, these 3 hours would seem like 6, but the multiple layers compress it into seemingly 1 ½ hours. While it might be challenging for those without prior knowledge, individuals with even a slight interest in Oppenheimer's persona, historical context, and the political backdrop of that era will find it enjoyable, as the subject matter goes well beyond Oppenheimer alone, adding to its fascination.
