Christopher Nolan creates a historical drama, political thriller and powerful life story that surpasses all his previous work.

I am not a Nolan fan. That’s a controversial opinion. Eight of his films, including the just-released Oppenheimer, are in the IMDB top 250, and that’s more than any other director. They are undeniably popular, and that has contributed to my seeing his entire oeuvre since Memento, mostly in the cinema. But they have never been my personal favourites.
