emily wilson, who translated the odyssey in 2017, and whose translation was apparently a large inspiration to nolan, just published her review of the movie and it does a brilliant job at verbalizing and explaining the ick i felt watching the movie in greater detail than i could.

@twd@hol.ogra.ph https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jul/30/maga-joyce-carol-oates-criticises-emily-wilson-for-criticising-nolans-odyssey Emily Wilson appears to have upset some people lol i for one thought her review was interesting, and don't agree that she has any obligation to be "respectful" when she's critiquing just because she might have benefitted from Nolan's work
