Buzz Grows for Nolan’s Odyssey After Early Oscar Screenings
Oscar voters who attended the first screenings of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reacted with reverence, praising its epic scale, IMAX/70mm production and standout performances, especially Matt Damon’s ensemble, even as some noted a lengthy runtime. The film, which opened to a global $264 million, could be a frontrunner in the fall awards race, though momentum will hinge on festival receptions at Telluride, Venice and Toronto and continued campaigning.
