Nolan's The Odyssey: Ambitious but Uneven, Says El País
The review published on July 15, 2026 by El País describes Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey as ambitious but not extraordinary. An adaptation of Homer's epic poem, the film stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Samantha Morton in a casting judged flawless. Three sequences stand out: Polyphemus the Cyclops, Circe, and the Sirens. Ludwig Göransson's score and excessive editing are identified as the film's main weaknesses.
