“Reinvigorating an ancient
adventure with majestic sweep and sterling work by its colossal ensemble,
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey imbues myth with primal human feeling.”
Rotten Tomatoes
“A worthy new translation of
an ancient text, and yet another monumental piece of work from one of our
boldest filmmakers. Watch it on the most colossal screen you can find.”
Empire
“A grounded, spiritual,
uncanny rendering of Greek myth, The Odyssey is a dazzling epic and a major
film-of-the-year contender. Post-Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan continues to
operate at the height of his filmmaking powers.”
Total Film
“Nolan’s love of movies and
commitment to them — to what they can do, what they can be, what they should be
— runs like an electric current through his filmography, lighting it, and
oftentimes you, up. That passion is in every frame of his monumental adaptation
of The Odyssey, one of the most Nolan of Nolan spectacles in its thematic
concerns, formal playfulness, kinetic thrills and unabashed showmanship.”
The
New York Times
“Modern mainstream films
don’t come more daring, mammoth, and accomplished than Nolan’s latest.”
