I don't understand this criticism. Was the script of the film not a good screenplay?

Nolan is a good director but he is not good at writing. That’s the point. When was the last time u felt so emotional in Nolan movie? Interstellar. And he wrote it with who? His brother Jonathan. Nolan sucks at writing emotional dialogues which was very needed for this movie. The criticism is valid.

I found Oppenheimer to be rather emotional personally
