Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film *The Odyssey* has reportedly become the best-reviewed film of his career on Rotten Tomatoes, with early reviews giving it a 98% Fresh rating ahead of its cinema release. That matters because Nolan is already one of Hollywood’s most critically successful directors, and this suggests his latest project could surpass even *Oppenheimer* and *The Dark Knight* in critical standing.

The article says *The Odyssey* opens in cinemas next week and notes that even Nolan’s weakest Rotten Tomatoes score, for *Tenet*, still stands at 70%, showing his consistently strong reputation with critics. By comparison, *Oppenheimer* holds 93% and *The Dark Knight* 94%, meaning *The Odyssey* currently leads his filmography at 98%. The piece also highlights praise for the film’s scale, storytelling themes and Robert Pattinson’s performance as Antinous, with critics describing it as one of Nolan’s most impressive achievements.
