Reviews for Oppenheimer
Emily Blunt thankfully busts out of the supportive/suffering wife archetype as the alcoholic but sharp-witted Kitty Oppenheimer, who gives us one of the film’s most rousing scenes in an intense verbal duel with bullish lawyer Roger Robb (Jason Clarke).
Kitty is perhaps the only person who knows the true Robert inside out: the man behind the martyr, skillfully disguised behind his faux humility and a grating “lonely genius” persona.
[Kitty morphs] into the film’s most ferocious Cold Warrior, her armor a carapace of pearls, Cherries in the Snow lipstick and righteous rage.
Blunt brings startling force to the role of a woman who shames her faithless husband with a loyalty that surpasses all reason.
