I think the cinematography for Openhimer was deliberately and deceptively simple. Nolan leverages the 70 mm format to capture a lot of textures without being heavy handed.
This film was kind of a big departure from Nolan’s typical action oriented style. I do think that some of the performances were mid, and the dialogue was a bit droll at times.
That said, I think he is extremely masterful in his ability to tell a story non linearly, which made the overall story more compelling since they packed a person’s whole adult life’s story into three hours.
I think the ending conveyed the overall point of the film, and still highlights the complexity of human nature.
Overall, I think the Openhimer tries to use subtleties in an era when “bigger is better”.
