Ben Shapiro posted an 18-minute review of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” to his YouTube channel on Saturday, in which he called the Greek epic a “masterpiece” despite the conservative outrage about the film’s cast and historical accuracy.

“Nolan is unparalleled. He’s the best director working today, without a doubt. He just creates iconic movie after iconic movie,” Shapiro said. He also had lots of praise for star Matt Damon, adding, “I think he’s great in nearly everything. He sort of disappears into the part in a way that he doesn’t in a lot of other movies. He’s great as Odysseus.”
