Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) is an unequivocal masterpiece & might be one of the best films I’ve ever seen in a movie theater. Part of an artist’s job is to use the power of past success to take creative swings & push boundaries. That is exactly what Nolan just did: he used all the money & all the Oscars he earned from Oppenheimer & took perhaps the biggest swing of his career. In doing so, he made one of the best films of his life. The Odyssey is worthy of being mentioned with Inception, The Dark Knight & Oppenheimer as one of Nolan’s best films. This is also the best work of Matt Damon’s career & Tom Holland’s. Together, Nolan, Damon & Holland lead us down a 3 hour journey that represents everything Cinema has stood for over the last 100 years. This exceeded my stout expectations. 

The parallels between the regret Oppenheimer & Odysseus go through are impossible to ignore. Both men face a “what have I created?” scenario that defines their lives. In Oppenheimer, it was creating nuclear warfare & destroying a way of life we as humans all knew how to navigate. In The Odyssey, it’s Odysseus’ destruction of Zeus’ law.

Obviously, those of you familiar with The Odyssey know that Zeus’ law is the driving theme throughout this story: treat as you would be treated. The regret/pain/heartbreak Odysseus suffers throughout his journey home comes from his breaking of Zeus’ law when he helped destroy Troy with no honor through the Trojan Horse, an idea originated by Odysseus. By destroying a code of honor & an accepted way of the life so as overthrow Troy (destroying Zeus’ law), Odysseus essentially gives others an excuse to defy the gods & act with no restraint, such as the suitors pining for Odysseus’s thrown in Ithaca. 

Nolan had to have recognized this common denominator between Oppenheimer & Odysseus & that commonality must have colored so many of Nolan’s creative decisions, specifically editing. Editing- which is the way a story is told- was masterfully executed in this film by Jennifer Lame. The way in which the story bobs & weaves between Telemachus (Tom Holland) & Odysseus, or the way Nolan cuts back in time to actually show us the invasion of Troy, as told by Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus, is so well-done because it keeps the pace of the film moving & eventually ties the entire story back to the driving theme- which is Odysseus’s destruction of Zeus’ law. 

But while the editing really caught my attention, the most obvious & undeniably best part of this film are the visuals. You literally feel the weight of every last shot. Just wow. The color. The scope. The realism. At multiple points, I asked myself “how did Nolan do this?” How did Nolan recreate Hades like this? How did he recreate the falling of Troy like this? Hell, how did Nolan recreate the Cyclops like this?? When I say The Odyssey is one of Nolan’s best films, it’s because of the filmmaking & practical effects. You might have nits with the performances or script, but no one on planet Earth can question the filmmaking achieved by Nolan in this movie. Just the scenes shot on water in a boat or Odysseus on a raft in the middle of the ocean alone…they are all breathtaking. It’s the filmmaking that is the biggest reason this movie will be remembered for decades to come & it’s the biggest reason I want to see this again immediately. 

All of Nolan’s mastery with themes, editing & overall direction are combined with an ensemble of actors who deliver across the board one by one. John Leguizamo could not have been better in this movie. As Odysseus’ loyal servant Eumaeus, Leguizamo is a the definition of scene-stealer. And while Robert Pattinson & Anne Hathaway are also excellent, I truly think Tom Holland just gave the best performance of his career. He absolutely holds serve throughout & shows a tempered emotional range that suites this film’s tone.

But man…this movie is about Matt Damon. For all the amazing films & all the amazing performances Damon has given
