The film is produced by Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas under their banner, Syncopy.
News18 Showsha gave the movie 4.5 stars and wrote in its review, “What leaves an indelible impression is that the film doesn’t treat war as a spectacle. The battle sequence where men perish amid flames and devastation, lingers in Odysseus’ mind long after the smoke clears. The images return to him like a recurring nightmare. After breaking Athena’s statue, she starts accompanying him as his figment of imagination. The effect is palpable. This extraordinary screenplay is further elevated by a string of powerful acts. Damon as Odysseus delivers what may well be the performance of his career. Even in the physically fraught scenes, his vulnerability is what stands out. He brings remarkable restraint to the role, allowing Odysseus’ inner turmoil to surface without ever slipping into melodrama.”
