A review by enyaxiang
Copenhagen by Michael Frayn

5.0

This was lying around my house and turned out to be one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. It brings together science and humanity, clever parallels between principles of quantum mechanics and discrepancies of memory and history—with only three characters, no stage directions, and no director’s notes. I’ve never seen dialogue used so willfully. Listen, the great men of science might have changed the world, but I don’t exactly want to be pals with them. But it just works here. And probably because it didn’t try to glorify them (shocker)—it just explored pride and war and friendship and personal responsibility and all the tiny terrible things that bother us about ourselves

This is everything Oppenheimer could have been tbh
