Sundance Film Festival in Flux: 'Odyssey Movie' Named 'Most Dangerous Film of the Decade' as Critics Warn It Will 'Destroy the Nuclear Family'.
The moral decay of our society is on full display at this year's Sundance, where the controversial indie flick being dubbed the 'odyssey movie' has sparked fury for glorifying adultery and a nomadic lifestyle that rejects home, faith, and duty. One moral critic stood up during the Q&A to declare it "a blueprint for the dissolution of the American family unit," arguing that the film’s protagonist—a man who abandons his wife and children for a cross-country road trip with a stranger—is not a hero but a symptom of a culture that has lost its way. "This isn't art," the critic shouted over the applause of the liberal audience. "It's propaganda for self-gratification over sacrifice. The 'odyssey movie' takes the ancient tale of a man trying to get home and twists it into a celebration of a man running away from his responsibilities." The film has already secured a massive distribution deal, with many fearing that its 'brave and honest' portrayal of selfishness will lead to a surge in broken homes and abandoned families across the country.
