The redemption of Christopher Nolan

I have the same criticism of Chris Nolan’s movies as many critics.

Once you get past the high concept movie making, how much meaning is there in the Nolan filmography?

It’s not just the inaudible dialogue that made TENET problematic. When you get down to it is there anything more to Nolan than narrative gimmicks and Hans Zimmer hornblasts?

I think there is and Oppenheimer is the perfect movie for Nolan to prove it.
