An astute and thoughtful review of this cinematic masterpiece. The unresolved (and unresolvable) moral paradox of Oppenheimer's career and role in history is the subtext of the entire film, even if the actual consequences of the bomb on actual human beings are left implicit--that is, the irradiated indigenous people downwind from Los Alamos, and the vast number of innocent Japanese men, women, and children who died horrible deaths in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And I agree that the two dominant women in the film, Jean Tatlock and Kitty, were played with depth and empathy befitting their role in his life.
