The biopic may be the most overrated genre in contemporary cinema. Hard to believe? Just ask Christopher Nolan. In a recent interview with Variety about his own "biopic" Oppenheimer, the renowned filmmaker stated that it is "not a useful genre" and "one that fails you completely" due to its reductive nature. Nevertheless, biopics continue to be produced at an exponential rate by big studios and indie companies alike, with one of the latest being an Elon Musk biopic from A24 that will be directed by the polarizing Darren Aronofsky, matching the reputation of his subject.
