“We were a week into editing and then lockdown happened.” It’s January 2021 and Scottish director Kevin Macdonald is talking me through what it’s been like finishing a major movie in the midst of a pandemic. The film in question is The Mauritanian, a 9/11 legal drama starring Jodie Foster and Benedict Cumberbatch as rival lawyers involved in the case of Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Tahar Rahim), a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay who was held for 14 years with no charge after being implicated in the World Trade Centre attacks.

Kevin Macdonald's Talks About The Mauritanian [Exclusive Interview]

The Synopsis
This is inspiring the true story of Slahi’s fight for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years. Alone and afraid, Slahi (Tahar Rahim, “
The Silence of the Lamp”) and her associate Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley, “
Divergent”) who battle the U.S. government in a fight for justice that tests their commitment to the law and their client at every turn. Their controversial advocacy, along with evidence uncovered by a formidable military prosecutor, Lt. Colonel Stuart Couch (Benedict Cumberbatch, “
Star Trek Into Darkness”), uncovers shocking truths and ultimately proves that the human spirit cannot be locked up.

‘The Mauritanian’: Putting a Face to the War on Terror’s Casualties
An adaptation of a Guantanamo prisoner’s memoir splits its time between legal drama and P.O.W. survivalist tale — and gives you one first-rate performance

Tahar Rahim in 'The Mauritanian.'
The Mauritanian (now in theaters, though you’re more likely to catch it when it goes on-demand starting March 2nd) begins with both a return and an exit. A man named Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Tahar Rahim) has come home to North Africa for a wedding. He’s been abroad, studying electrical engineering in Germany and living briefly in Montreal. It’s November 2001, two months after 9/11. While visiting with his family, the authorities drop by to see him. The Americans are interested in you, they tell Slahi. They want to know if you can help them locate your cousin, Mahfouz Ould al-Walid, a.k.a. Abu Hafs al-Mauritani, a.k.a. a member of Al Qaeda and advisor to Osama Bin Laden. If you could please come with us, we’d just like to ask you a few questions. His mother is worried. Slahi comforts her: They’re letting him drive to the station, he says. There’s no cause for alarm. He will be right back.

With the Super Bowl behind us and the Oscars looming (and a pandemic-dampened Valentine’s Day as a marketing peg), American distributors are releasing their most robust slate of new releases in months this weekend.
Awards contenders “Judas and the Black Messiah” (about the FBI-sanctioned murder of Fred Hampton) and “Land” (starring and directed by Robin Wright) arrive in theaters, hot off their premieres at this year’s virtual Sundance Film Festival. Also on the awards-worthy indie front, A24 releases last year’s Sundance winner “Minari” on demand. Steven Yuen stars in this immigrant story with universal appeal. And if theaters are open (and safe) near you, consider catching Michelle Pfeiffer in the wickedly funny “French Exit.”

Surreal endeavors like this should be referred to as “mood comedies”—I can easily understand someone checking out early, but man was I apparently in the right mood for it. Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig co-wrote and co-star as Barb and Star, two permed and culotte-wearing best friends from Soft Rock, Nebraska who work together, finish each other’s thoughts and even moved in together after they were respectively widowed and divorced. After they lose their jobs, they decide to take their first-ever vacation together to a Florida resort town—where, unfortunately, someone is planning to release genetically-modified mosquitoes to kill everyone.

Movie Review - The Mauritanian (2021)

Directed by Kevin Macdonald.
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jodie Foster, Shailene Woodley, Tahar Rahim, Zachary Levi, Langley Kirkwood, Corey Johnson, Matthew Marsh, Sammer Usmani, David Fynn, André Jacobs, Meena Rayann, Arthur Falko, Stevel Marc, and Robert Hobbs.
SYNOPSIS:
Mohamedou Ould Salahi fights for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years.
Despite
The Mauritanian playing out procedurally and almost statically, there are a number of elements working in its favor. At its core, Kevin Macdonald’s look at Guantánamo Bay torture is about Mohamedou Ould Slahi (Tahar Rahim), a detainee charged over years with alleged connections to 9/11 terrorism yet without any actual evidence from the US government. In that regard, it’s a tale of an indomitable spirit admirably clinging to his faith while enduring unimaginable horrors, picking up the English language in the process, and making a prisoner friend along the way. Tahar Rahim is exceptional in the role, calm and collected contrasted with restrained fear and humanity as the guards take up extreme measures to break him mentally and physically.
