The Movie Guru: ‘The Odyssey’ and ‘Young Washington’ both miss the mark
['Jenniffer']
Vail Daily
‘The Odyssey’ (in theaters)When a filmmaker does something dramatic like adapting “The Odyssey,” you expect them to have a really specific reason they wanted to do it.
Back in Ithaca, Holland and Hathaway are full-on carrying the only interesting part of the movie.
Grade: Two and a half stars‘Young Washington’ (in theaters)It’s hard to find a new story to tell about George Washington.
William Franklin-Miller has an excellent jawline, but not the acting chops to show Washington really dealing with the struggles of war.
The script is weak enough that acting is the movie’s only hope of nuance, and Franklin-Miller simply doesn’t provide it.
