NickShaw_September 1, 2021an important movie
A hard to watch, definitely. It`s horrible to think that things like these happen, and it`s protected legaly,the victims don`t have no where to run to.

Very sad story, the content of it could cause desperation. But it was also told in a still, indiferent way. It feels like the movie has no heart, altought it had a lot of room to make us conect with the mauritanian and/or the lawyer.

Esta película es extraordinaria si te gusta las películas de juicios. Basada en hechos reales y como una persona inocente puede estar en situaciones tan precarias por tanto tiempo.

The Mauritanian foi pra mim uma das melhores surpresas dessa temporada. Emocionante, surpreendentemente informativo e extremamente potente! Excelentes atuações de Tahar Rahim e Jodie Foster.
