Now this is fair to criticize - an Odyssey movie with Patel as Odysseus would be great but obviously not THIS Odyssey where it would be pretty bad to frame a brown guy as a symbol of the failings of American imperial policy.
EMILY WILSONIn this piece, I regret the paragraph about the uses of the POC actors - who are all great, but IMO under-utilized (and why couldn‘t Himesh Patel be Odysseus instead?) I still think the film largely wastes its strong cast, but I framed it badly.
