Movie MAGA Tried to Cancel Scores Astonishing Rave Reviews
Melinda Sue Gordon/Universal Pic / Courtesy Universal PicturesChristopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey is being lauded by critics, despite MAGA’s attempts to condemn the film before it was even made public. Variety called it “an astonishing achievement,” adding that the performances from the star-studded cast were “genuinely grand.” The Independent said, “In The Odyssey, Nolan showcases visual trickery in a way you’ve never seen a few before.” Time Out’s film critic declared the film is a “dizzying mix of craft and spectacle that’s built to last,” and described it as “dense but accessible, packed with career-best work from the stacked cast.” IndieWire’s editor-at-large predicted Best Actor award nominations for Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus. Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes movie critic Erik Davis deemed the 3-hour spectacle an “absolute triumph” and crowned Oscar winner Nolan “one of the great filmmakers of our time.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
