Nonlinearity when done well is fine. Nolan just goes completely overboard with it. I know the movie is gonna have it to some degree but just don't get cute with it

Filmmakers — looking at you, Aaron Sorkin — need to realize that no one these days gives a shite about communism. Oppenheimer gets bogged down in that storyline and it’s a drag. A “good” movie, to be sure, but a tough one to recommend. Pretty sure I’ll never watch it again…
Screw this communist POS

Normally, I would agree, but this film is based on a biography of Oppenheimer called American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Having yet to read the biography myself, the subheading of the book likely refers to his great triumph (the atomic bomb) as well as his great tragedy (being railroaded by the U.S. government for his ties to communism). That shite happened. It's real life. It's not some kind of propaganda. The man fell from grace because his wife was a communist, his mistress was a communist, and he had expressed sympathetic views toward communism though there was never any proof he was ever a true believer.
Communism is a major theme of the story of Oppenheimer as he was almost kicked off the Manhattan Project for sleeping with Jean Tatlock (his communist mistress) while building the bomb because she was seen as a major security risk.

Chris Stuckman said he loves the movie but reported Nolan has done nothing to change his much-criticized voice audio mixing. He said it is a very heavy dialogue-driven movie but he maybe understood 75% of the total dialogue.

I saw that and I’ve also seen people say they totally disagree and that the voice mix was fine.

I hope that's true because I've started to lose some hearing the past few years and find myself needing subtitles more.
Before that started happening, watching Tenet gave me anxiety because I was concerned I was going deaf because I couldn't understand a thing and was looking side-to-side at others around me to see if anyone was as bewildered as I was.

There are theaters that accommodate closed captioning for the deaf, just do that
