Emily Wilson Slams Nolan’s Odyssey | Belfast News

Emily Wilson, the groundbreaking female translator of the Odyssey, delivers a scathing review of Christopher Nolan’s new film, calling its script “abysmal,” its character motivations weak, and its portrayal of female roles painfully bland. She lambasts the film’s confusing plot, problematic casting of non-white actors as token “Black best friends,” and its troubling depiction of violence and war. Wilson also raises ethical concerns over filming in Western Sahara and the movie’s glorification of territorial conflict. Despite the backlash, she notes the film’s massive box office success and unexpected boost to interest in ancient Greek literature.
