Odysseys on Screen: Five Adaptations, Ranked by Critics
A Rotten Tomatoes–style ranking of five Odyssey adaptations: 1997's The Odyssey miniseries leads at 79% for faithfulness, followed by O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) at 78%, The Return (2024) at 78% for a psychology-driven, non-fantasy take, Keyhole (2011) at 70% with avant-garde motifs, and Troy: The Odyssey (2017) at 44% with few reviews; the piece notes some early adaptations lack RT scores and each film reinterprets the epic in distinct ways.
