This is one of the best movies of 2020.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 30, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 27, 2020

Balances admirable ambition (it's an American film, but the characters speak Arabic) with the cruder goosing strategies and red-meat dialogue of a revenge picture.

It's well-made and engrossing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 26, 2020

Favors a sense of you-are-there authenticity over any kind of deeper characterization or geopolitical context. The result is generically gripping but ultimately not something that lingers.

Precious few moments of "Mosul" leave the aftertaste of a recruitment film.

| Original Score: C | Sep 9, 2019

"Mosul" often feels like "Call of Duty" interrupted by the occasional call to prayer.
