“Those scenes were written deliberately,” Cillian told The Sydney Morning Herald. “[Christopher] knew that those scenes would get the movie the rating that it got. And I think when you see it, it’s so f-cking powerful. And they’re not gratuitous. They’re perfect. And Florence is just amazing.”

He continued, praising his co-star for her talents.

“I have loved Florence’s work since Lady Macbeth, and I think she’s f-cking phenomenal,” he gushed. “She has this presence as a person and on screen that is staggering. The impact she has [in Oppenheimer] for the size of the role, it’s quite devastating.”
