The Return Ratings & Reviews
- Elliot047December 25, 2025Ok, so this is more like a family drama, not the epic Nolan is making. It what happens after at the end of the Journey. Nice take.
- UrhasSeptember 18, 2025Wise, magnificent movie.
- sam.54February 2, 2025Great, gritty, more realistic take on the last few chapters of Homer's Oddessy. No magic or gods here, just raw realism. It's a bit of a slow burn, but that adds to the power of the more "war veteran returning" focus of this version. I do wish this production had just a bit more budget. A lot of the shots are very tight where I'd like to see some bigger sets, and a lot of the town and court shorts are very sparse where some extras would add to make Ithica feel more like a kingdom as opposed to a small settlement. But aside, Raph Finnes is great and so is the lighting, makeup, and costumes. It looks very much like we're transported back to Greece
- Coops_71August 2, 2025Although not perfect this reimagining of Homers Odyssey gives the war hero a more realistic feel.
- DadJuly 24, 2025A tough and gritty movie that has you cheering for the hero all the way. Revenge is a dish best served cold (Old Klingon saying)
- EnochLightMay 2, 2025While we await Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of The Odyssey, this film offers a compelling look at the final chapters of the ancient Greek epic. Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche deliver outstanding performances, and the cinematography beautifully captures the raw, emotional journey of Odysseus returning to Ithaca. Much like Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy, the film avoids supernatural elements, instead grounding the story in gritty realism. It’s a thoughtful, human portrayal of a legendary tale - highly recommended.
- qmechanMarch 6, 2025Odysseus must face the suitors Who seek to be Hellenic looters Of his Ithican home And his wife, with her own Problems giving these suitors the boot-ers.
- Adi PricopeFebruary 2, 2025Terifiant
- MIDJET76January 1, 2025Slow burner, never really gets going. If your expecting a lot of action then you will be sorely disappointed.
- Carl Leo AryeeDecember 29, 2024Very very low budget movie
