Translator slams Nolan's The Odyssey in scathing review

Emily Wilson, whose 2017 translation of Homer's Odyssey influenced Christopher Nolan's film, published a scathing review in the London Review of Books, calling the script 'abysmal' and lacking emotional depth. Despite the film's critical and box-office success, Wilson criticized its narrative as 'gimmicky' and characters underdeveloped, though she acknowledged it sparked renewed interest in Homer's epic.
