1. • • And yet, despite its predictability and other conspicuous flaws, “Ithaca” is surprisingly successful in fits and starts when it comes to sustaining interest and empathy, thanks partly to Ryan’s ability to subtly yet vividly evoke particulars of time and place on an indie-movie budget, and largely because of some compelling performances in lead and secondary roles.

     'Ithaca' Review: Meg Ryan Unevenly Adapts 'The Human Comedy'

   Is Ithaca a good movie?

   • Ithaca, directed by Meg Ryan, is wordy and static, according to The Hollywood Reporter's review. Despite the novel by Saroyan being a sharp smear on the fragility of life in a world of wild extremes and shifting circumstances, the film's drama is enervated by incessant voiceover, background radio, newsreels, and out-loud letter readings. This review does not answer definitively whether Ithaca is a good movie or not, but it does suggest that the film's execution may detract from the source material's potential impact.

   Is Meg Ryan's 'Ithaca' a good movie?

   • Meg Ryan's directorial debut is an uneven adaptation of William Saroyan's "The Human Comedy." By turns poignant and plodding, affecting and affected, “Ithaca” is the sort of frustrating movie that’s just good enough to make you wish it were a lot better.

   Is 'Ithaca' a true story?

   • “Ithaca,” a quiet and bittersweet adaptation of William Saroyan’s novel “The Human Comedy”, is Meg Ryan’s directorial debut. The story revolves around a 14-year-old boy named Homer, who delivers telegrams in the small town of the film's title during 1942. Many of those telegrams contain the worst possible news for the families of soldiers.

   Is 'Ithaca' a good book as portrayed in the film?

   • The film adaptation of Ithaca, while wordy, lacks the natural everyday dialogue in Erik Jendresen’s script, focusing instead on philosophical queries. This results in drones that don't feel or sound natural, which is particularly egregious since Saroyan’s book imparted a real sense of place (his hometown of Fresno, changed to Ithaca for the narrative).

   Where can I watch 'Ithaca'?

   • Watch Ithaca with a subscription on Prime Video, rent on Fandango at Home, Apple TV, or buy on Fandango at Home, Apple TV. Hanks' casting feels like a missed opportunity-much like the rest of Ithaca. "Ithaca" is the sort of frustrating movie that's just good enough to make you wish it were a lot better.

   Is Ithaca a good Odyssey?

   • An odyssey should be an epic adventure filled with discovery but we know the well-worn route Ithaca will take only too well. The stylistic mishmash is jarring to say the least. Even the performances -- usually a strong point for actors-turned-directors -- are leaden. Ryan forgets to develop character past the planning stages.
