Mogul Mowgli

"Ahmed affirms his standing as one of Britain's most vital, risky actors, even in a role we thought we'd already seen him play."

"Mogul Mowgli (juggles) humour and indignity in side-splitting fashion..."

"Thoughtfully crafted and thematically rich, even if it feels a little too opaquely personal in places."

"(Ahmed's performance) lends Mogul Mowgli an edge it would otherwise lack."

"Electrifying..."

"Riz Ahmed brings his intense and always engaging presence to this film..."

"For all its occasional fumbling, Mogul Mowgli fully justifies its existence in every bristling detail of Ahmed's performance..."

"Heady, heavy and a little heavy-handed."

"A drama that rings with truth..."

"A simultaneously deeply personal and sometimes-opaque cinematic experience..."

"Poignantly propulsive and furiously constructed..."

"Acting may be a collaborative art form, but Mr. Ahmed also flies solo with considerable grace."

"Mogul Mowgli is an imperfect exploration of cultural identity and generational trauma, but in its messiness and chaos, it feels all the more genuine."

"(Riz Ahmed) is at the top of his game."
