Christopher Nolan's latest film is a a three-hour adaptation of a nearly 3,000-year-old epic by the ancient Greek poet Homer. Does The Odyssey live up to the hype?
Award-winning film critic Dom Sinacola breaks down Nolan's latest blockbuster project.
Sinacola writes that Nolan grounds the fantastical elements of storytelling with historical grit, making the ancient Greek myth of Odysseus (played by Nolan regular Matt Damon, this time super-shredded) breathe with realism even as a bunch of crazy stuff goes down.
The film brings vital life to a text many of us must’ve yawned through in high school, but Nolan still can’t quite write a woman character that transcends “woman character.”
