Note:  There has been some criticism of the language.  For example, Telemachus referring to his father as “Dad”.  IMO, that is not enough to distract one from appreciating entirety of the movie.

Because as everyone knows, the Ancient Greeks famously spoke a very formal English, and would never have referred to their father as “dad”.

I think some critics felt they had to find something to offset their overwhelmingly positive reviews and ended up focusing on the language.  And, of course, no one mentioned that the British actors in the cast spoke in an American accent. 

A tempest in a teapot…

Saw it last night. Didn't much care for it. Maybe I was in a cranky mood.
