Hotel Mumbai's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
Hotel Mumbai is an excellent, white-knuckle thriller ? and an unlikely crowd-pleaser.
Indiewire
A dramatization of the November 2008 ambush on India?s largest city, the film, it should go without saying, is harrowing to the extreme. Almost unbearable, in fact.
Chicago Sun-Times
At times director and co-writer Anthony Maras? ?Hotel Mumbai? veers dangerously close to becoming almost sadistically realistic in its depiction of a pack of young ihadi killers from Pakistan carrying out cold-blooded executions in multiple locations across India?s largest city.
Variety
Whatever else it may offer to audiences, vicarious thrills, emotional catharsis, ?Hotel Mumbai? serves as a testament to those remarkable individuals [who risked their lives to save others].
The Hollywood Reporter
Perhaps if the characters felt like more than mere two-dimensional beings (the heroic dad, the loyal waiter, the frightened babysitter, the decadent Russian, the regretful terrorist), there would be something to maintain our interest, but all you can really do in Hotel Mumbai is wait for more bodies to drop until a rescue squad arrives.
