Critics have rated Gerwig higher than Nolan in the last few years

@JackHarmening Actually on looking they both score high as directors, which still makes this closer to coin flip for me than easily one-sided.

Oppenheimer looks like it will be one of those movies that try too hard to be deathly serious Oscarbait and end up falling flat. Whereas Barbie looks like it will be one of those movies that are dumb fun and know it, and get decent reviews for doing that well.
