Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV rated the film four and a half out of five and stated: " Oppenheimer, a cinematic achievement of blinding brilliance, achieves a sublime combination of visual grandeur, technical flair, emotional intimacy and an examination of the limits of human endeavor and ambition". In August 2023, it ranked number three on Collider ' s list of "The 20 Best Drama Movies of the 2020s So Far," with the site writing that Nolan "explores the world's obsession with destructive nuclear weapons from the perspective of their creator; using the Greek myth of Dante [ sic ] as an inspiration, Oppenheimer makes it clear that once this type of power is unleashed, it is bound to be used again."
