The better part of Barbenheimer as Barbie started out strong and then crashed through the soapbox while biting its own tongue - a gynecological joke was not the best editorial choice in my eyes or a way to end an already lengthy five-joke film. Note, although it may have made a ton of money, Barbie will not be the darling of the year-end ball. Just watch Oppenheimer!!! A historical drama that is cut like a thriller, it is exhilaraing, then sad and exhilaraing again! I truly hope Robert Downey Jr. gets the node here because he is amazing as a character you initially think is one thing and then becomes something else entirely. This and The Dark Knight are Nolan's best- so far! A bunch of honorable mentions; Past Lives, Eileen, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Theater Camp, Maestro, May December, Godzilla Minus One, A Thousand and One and about four more that I've heard are great but that I have yet to see...this, in a sneaky way was the year of the actor but many were not paying attention.
