Reviews of The Mauritanian are mixed, but focus on the performances of the cast Here's a roundup of comments from film critics:

Janet Katsouris (New York Times): "Tasteless characters and a barrage of flashbacks further detract from our involvement in this drama

Birge Ebiri, Vulture: The Mauritanians is a noble but unsophisticated effort to tell this man's story Its beats are familiar, its anger subdued, its narrative diffuse But in its final moments, the film delivers a stunning, devastating shock

David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter: " Despite its star power and the gripping central performance of Tahar Rahim as Surahi, this legal procedural film remains strangely flat It is an unquestionably well-intentioned treatment of a dark chapter in American justice, but it is a methodical and earnest work to all intents and purposes"

Brian Talerico, RogerEbertcom: "The performances by Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster, and Benedict Cumberbatch are impressive However, The Mauritanians fails to humanize the story it is telling, making it no more challenging or interesting than a superficial and manipulative account of true events"
