(Flashback) People were 'Unable to Speak' Walking Out of Oppenheimer Screening 'Devastated' - ATOMIC BOMB Story (2023)

Christopher Nolan shared some early reactions from Oppenheimer, & they’re pretty brutal. The filmmaker opened up about how audiences have responded so far at special screenings of the upcoming movie.

"Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated," he explained to Wired about the audiences so far. "They can't speak. I mean, there's an element of fear that's there in the history and there in the underpinnings. But the love of the characters, the love of the relationships, is as strong as I've ever done."

Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy as titular nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and follows how he set up the Manhattan Project during World War Two, and subsequently created the atomic bomb.
