RDJ is like an extrovert that tries to keep quiet in front of 4 other introverts.
-
Cillian Murphy just has that screen presence where u just want to watch him no matter the quality around him. And for him to have these fabulous collaborations with Nolan over the years has made it so special to watch. Really hope Cillian and Nolan win their well deserved Oscar for this
-
No matter how many times I’ve seen interstellar, Matt Damon’s appearance is always surprising
-
Don't think I've ever been more excited to see a movie in my life. For Matt Damon to say Cillian Murphy's performance is one of the greatest of all time to be put on film is some serious, serious praise.
-
I’m happy for RDJ to be able to find a project that elevates him to a level that allows him to be distinguished apart from the MCU’s “Iron Man”. It’s hard to do that when you’re known so well for a specific role. He fucking killed it. So did Cillian and Matt. Florence and Emily were flawless. But really the star of this was Nolan. Masterpiece.
-
Funny how the director of a film is on the headlines and centre of attention as appose to the cast members. The impact Chris Nolan has made in the film industry is truly incredible
-
Nolan's got some of the best talent in the movie industry singing his praises. Nolan's just on another level, an absolute genius auteur filmmaker
-
Casey Afleck’s role was really intimidating. He did such a great job at creating intense tension.
-
Cillian Murphy has such a mesmerizing screen presence that I can watch him in anything. Really looking forward to Oppenheimer.
-
Glad Downey is getting this opportunity to flex his acting muscles, I believe he's one of the greatest to ever do it. A legendary director and a legendary cast making a legendary film, can't wait!!
-
RDJ is such a sweet heart, his open admiration, genuine comments make me love him more than ever for the person he is and obviously an unforgettable actor.
-
I saw Oppenheimer yesterday and I can say it's an instant classic. If you are a cinema lover you will look back at this movie as a big vital experience.
-
If Cillian doesn't win an Oscar for this film I seriously don't know what to say.
-
Damon, a notoriously strong writer, having no notes. means more than you may realize
-
I love how all the cast are so supportive of each other 🥹
-
After seeing the movie I honestly have to say Cillian Murphy is going to win the Oscar 100%
-
RDJ seems so happy not playing as iron man again after almost a decade. He deserve to work with high calibre director such as Nolan, Scorsese, or Tarantino
-
I love how when someone speaks, the other 4 immediately put all their attention on the speaker: eye contact, tilting their body towards them, nodding their head, keeping quiet, etc. Also, you can tell that all 5 of them genuinely think this is an amazing movie in the way they all talk about it. Plus, Chris' and Cill's humility about the amazing work they did is a breath of fresh air
-
Awesome to see Downey Jr in a film and role like this
-
Matt Damon won an Oscar for best screenplay, and he had no notes for this script
