I saw it last night on 70mm.
I’ve been a amateur nuclear historian since before I was in HS.
Technically and historically, the film was very accurate.
Of course visually stunning.

Jean Turlock was actually a Red Sparrow working for the Soviets and was recruiting other women to be come mistresses for other scientists.
Its not widely reported as its a fairly recent discovery from Russian documents.

The casting of Jean was wrong.
No guy would throw away his life for that bi***.
His wife was ok but nothing special.

There were about 15-20 spies either working at Los Alamos or connected to them.
For SURE 4 were working at Los Alamos.
Other than Fuchs, the film ignored the spy issue.

The nudity was unnecessary and added nothing to the story unless you like boobs 10’ tall (on 70mm screen)

I really enjoyed the film and it was much better than “Fatman and Little Boy” for accuracy.

Best portrayal of Oppenheimer is the 1990s TV series (UK made I think!) with Sam Waterson as Oppenheimer. I found the Nolan movie ok but at times tedious with too many cinematic renderings of Oppenheimer’s moral angst.
