Eight months after it began global release, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer opened in Japan today; audiences have reacted with a mix of praise and discomfort.

A young Hiroshima resident told the BBC after seeing the film that Oppenheimer (played by Oscar winner Cillian Murphy) “was portrayed as a great man, but he could not hide the regret and guilt in his heart. Another Hiroshima resident told the news agency, “The film was very worth watching, but I felt very uncomfortable with a few scenes, such as the trial of Oppenheimer in the United States at the end.”
