So how uncomfortable are the sex scenes in Oppenheimer, on a scale of Cameron Diaz humping a car in 'The Counselor' to Jennifer Lopez telling Ben Affleck “It’s Turkey time. Gobble, gobble” in 'Gigli?'

with Tatlock, who suffered from severe depression and committed suicide at age 29. She’s the physicist’s first love interest in the film before he settles down with his wife, Katherine, called “Kitty” .

Oppenheimer meets Tatlock at the U.S. Communist Party gathering he’s brought to by his brother, Frank, who’s also a party member, and Frank’s girlfriend—another woman Oppenheimer views as disposable. When Tatlock is introduced to Oppenhiemer, they briefly flirt while they discuss their allegiance to the party. Tatlock, being cheeky, says she enjoys “a little wiggle room.” Cut to Tatlock straddling Oppenheimer on a bed while he lies there like a frozen corpse.

At a 1954 security clearance hearing that frames the movie, Oppenheimer admits to the panel that he had had sexual encounters with Tatlock, a Communist Party member, during his marriage to Kitty. The camera pans behind one of the board members to reveal Oppenhiemer sitting no longer in a suit but completely naked before the board. From Kitty’s point-of-view, as she sits behind her husband, we suddenly see Tatlock straddling Oppenheimer again, fully nude, while Kitty watches in horror.

Likewise, it’s frustrating that one of the few times viewers are meant to empathize with Kitty is when she’s experiencing envy toward another woman. During the hearing sequence, while Tatlock–or a vision of her, more accurately—is mounting Oppenhiemer, she stares directly at Kitty with a mischievous grin on her face. If not for the eye contact, it would seem like her gratification in this moment is solely sexual.

This is not to pull out the Bechdel Test and say these two women should have a more empowering interaction. But both the drama and horror of this scene, given that Kitty is already aware of her husband’s affair and seems generally disillusioned by her marriage, is frankly laughable.viewers have no need to mentally prepare themselves for much of anything regarding these extremely unenthusiastic and boring sex scenes.
