"This is a blockbuster of literally unprecedented scale. It is also Nolan’s best work to date. It deserves to be the film that defines him."—Clarisse Loughrey, Independent
"It is an anomalous big-studio entertainment that Nolan has filled with stars and polished to a high gleam, turning a 3,000-year-old poem into a smart, thoughtful film with Old Hollywood allure."—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
"On his grandest scale yet, Nolan reckons with the dead, face to face, and asks us to do the same, like Odysseus. Putting all of that spectacle behind this simple but powerful message - it's nothing less than glorious."—Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
