I don't watch books & I don't read movies. As I'm dyslexic, I don't read fast & I didn't watch much of it to form an opinion.

Yes it is a 88% for me. Moves along well. There is very little down time as there is always something to watch or hear. The insanity of war, or in some cases murder is well shown. It is with subtitles so deal with it, it's worth a little reading.

"Mosul" isn't the kind of easy, sentimental TV viewing often provided during the holidays, but it is a potent reminder of the deadly struggles and sacrifices some people have endured to earn their freedom.

Some of Carnahan's choices rely on certain Western stereotypes to underscore the awfulness of the Islamic State ... but what Mosul gets right more often is its prioritization of the Iraqi perspective, and the weight of all this violence.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Inquiry

Even if you find yourself wanting more out of the experience, Mosul offers a humanising look at post-2003 Iraq, with a powerful Oscar-worthy performance from Iraqi actor Suhail Dabbach.

The Arts Desk

Writer/director Matthew Michael Carnahan has crafted a spare and purposeful narrative in which character and incident are allowed to tell their own story without heavy-handed editorialising.
