“It’s So F***ing Powerful”: Cillian Murphy Explains The Vision Behind His And Florence Pugh’s Graphic S** Scenes In ‘Oppenheimer’ Amid Backlash

Barbie‘ and ‘Oppenheimer‘ are the two most-anticipated movies of the year. While it’s been less than a week, both movies have been performing tremendously well at the box office. Cillian Murphy has been praised for his depiction of the historical character of J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb.

While all the praise has been coming in, many people have also criticized the movie’s graphic scenes between Murphy and Florence Pugh. Here’s what the actor said about the scenes and the reception they have received.

The sex scenes in the movie starring co-star Florence Pugh, according to Cillian Murphy, have a reason for inclusion. While he spoke to the Sydney Morning Herald about the sex scenes, Murphy said: “Those scenes were written deliberately. He (director Christopher Nolan) knew that those scenes would get the movie the rating that it got. And I think when you see it, it’s so f***** powerful. And they’re not gratuitous. They’re perfect. And Florence is just amazing.” 

He further praised Pugh’s work and said: “I have loved Florence’s work since ‘Lady Macbeth’ (William Oldroyd’s 2016 period drama about a woman embittered by a loveless marriage) and I think she’s f***** phenomenal. 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.”
