"Oppenheimer" can't catch a break

I'm hearing negative conservative rumblings about "Oppenheimer," which some righties see as whitewashing Robert Oppenheimer's leftism. But leftists are upset at the movie, too, because (1) it supposedly doesn't feature any women for its first twenty minutes, and when a woman appears, we plunge right into a sex scene; and (2) there aren't enough people of color! One leftie commentator griped that, with the atomic bomb being such a prominent motif, the film should have shown some Japanese people. Instead, the focus is relentlessly on Oppenheimer.

To me, this sounds almost as if the film is pissing off all the right people.
