Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is a kinetic thing of dark, imposing beauty that quakes with the disquieting tremors of a forever rupture in the course of human history, AP Film Writer Jake Coyle writes his review. “Oppenheimer,” a feverish three-hour immersion in the life of Manhattan Project mastermind J.
