"directors story about PTSD wrapped up in the Odyssey”

O Brother, Where Art Thou is the inverse of that. It's the Odyssey wrapped up in a story of a jail break. Consequently, it's a great movie in its own right that gets better when you read the Odyssey

100%. Or like The Magnificent Seven (the 1960 one, not the 2016 abomination) is Seven Samurai wrapped in western packaging. Many such cases.

As a big movie guy, I like reading reviews both negative and positive so definitely write more.
