Running Time: 129 minutes

This feature from STXfilms is currently available On Demand everywhere.

Based on a true story, the new drama The Mauritanian involves an African man who was arrested in his hometown, passed to United States officials and detained in Guantanamo Bay for more than 14 years. All of this occurred without a criminal charge ever being levied against him. Admittedly, some of this earnest drama’s courtroom procedurals don’t offer new or dynamic cinematic storytelling techniques. However, the numerous hardships this person was forced to endure without justification make this a tale worth telling.

Running Time: 108 minutes

This feature debuts March 5 at open cinemas and on Disney+ with Premier Access.

The two most recent features from Walt Disney Animation Studios were the sequels Frozen II and Ralph Breaks the Internet. It’s nice to see that their latest production, Raya and the Last Dragon, is an original and not another follow-up. It’s a beautifully animated fable that will most certainly entertain kids. Still, despite the fact that it is well-produced and isn’t a direct by-product of an earlier production, adult viewers may feel slightly less enamored with the predictable story.
