Release: Odette

Odette
Genre: Drama/Fantasy
Director: Patty Jenkins
Writer: Jacob Jones
Cast: Natalie Dormer, Mia Wasikowska, Sigourney Weaver, Amy Poehler, John De Lancie, Miranda Cosgrove, Elijah Wood, Dev Patel, Julie Christie, Ian McKellan, Stu Bennett




Budget: $43,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $19,782,182
Foreign Box Office: $78,204,995
Total Profit: -$36,138,555

Reaction: Clearly the combo of genres did not work when it came to the box office. The lack of any big name actors probably didn't help matters either. Definitely not the way we were hoping to end Season 11.


"Patty Jenkins deftly handles the delicate genre mix like a true professional. While the film is a mixed bag, I feel it is a mixed bag worth watching, and it was certainly never boring." - Sara Karlsson, Willamette Week


"Elijah Wood as a handsome prince? Natalie Dormer as a fantasy princess? Sigourney Weaver as a swan? The film is bizarre, and not always in good ways." - David Boorman, Film Threat


"Odette, despite its interesting premise, contains some severely miscast roles (Dormer and Wood especially) that really hurts the characterizations in the film." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine



Rated PG-13 for some violence
