‘The Return’ Review: Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche Shine in an ‘Odyssey’ Adaptation That Burns Too Slowly

In “The Return,” a soldier, Odysseus, makes his way home after years fighting in the Trojan War. He returns worn and weary, causing his friends to struggle with recognizing him. The process of readjusting to society is challenging for him, even his wife Penelope seems unfamiliar. This narrative may seem familiar, but it’s an adaptation of a part of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” set on the island of Ithaca and unfolding against the backdrop of the war at Troy. The film is debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival before its theatrical release later this year.
