Christopher Nolan’s latest cinematic event is perfectly "good." And yet, its one truly remarkable achievement is not the drama, the direction, the acting, the cinematography, or the visual effects – but the sound design.

Oppenheimer, with its singular focus, is still Nolan's most perfectly wrought film. But even with its flaws, The Odyssey is so rich, so full of magic and humanity, that I'm eager to see this epic again.

5/5

You read The Odyssey and think: this is impossible to film. Yet this is sublime. Nolan invites us into an ancient world and holds us there, spellbound. He’s done the impossible. Pulled this off.

Nolan is playing within a conventional thematic framework - family and decency, above all else - in an old-fashioned film setting. But, like he proved with OPPENHEIMER, history, real or imagined, holds the answers we need presently.

The Odyssey is typically referred to as an epic because that is what it is in the classic literary sense and who better to put any sort of epic onscreen than Christopher Nolan?
