Eric Deggans NPR "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. Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times This is one of the best movies of 2020. Rated: 4/4 Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Roxana Hadadi RogerEbert.com 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 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Faisal Al-Jadir 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. Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Chris Barsanti Eyes Wide Open An Iraq War movie that's actually about Iraqis. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Adam Sweeting 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. Rated: 4/5 Dec 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
