The Odyssey is the definitive showcase both of everything Christopher Nolan does best and of all his weaknesses as a writer and as a director.
The Furious (2026) – Movie Review
You could choose any single fight in this movie and it would exemplify all the tenets of good action filmmaking: talented stunt performers, insane choreography, long, unbroken takes that let the action speak for itself, characterization through fighting style, exploiting the set piece, raising the stakes… That single fight that you chose would be the highlight of any Hollywood blockbuster, but here there are literally dozens of them.

The Choral (2025) – Movie Review
A baffling lack of stakes leaves an otherwise competent movie feeling inert.
