Reviews:
Maras is confident and unflinching in this portrait of the “mindless” terror, as one news report played in the film said. He is also masterful in delivering a range of emotions.
Matt Donnelly
Hotel Mumbai is an excellent, white-knuckle thriller – and an unlikely crowd-pleaser.
Katie Goh
Whatever else it may offer to audiences – vicarious thrills, emotional catharsis – “Hotel Mumbai” clearly serves as a testament to those remarkable individuals.
