Alongside A Drowning Man, I Signed The Petition, 3 Logical Exits, and A World Not Ours, A Man Returned continues to paint a realistic portrait of the Refugee Crisis that eschews the Western gaze and stereotype. These are real portraits painted by a director with lived experience, cultural connection and an amazing eye for visuals.
The most impressive aspect of this film is the honest and natural performances given by the on-screen duo.
The human experience is described through the eyes of a marginalized outsider, neither judgmental nor invested, just an observant donkey.
This is not a film, it’s a drop tower. A drop tower that you don’t get off of for the vast majority of its 106-minute runtime.
Critical Incident is worthy of a weekend binge, keeping you guessing right up until the end.
Disney has hopefully learned some lessons since 1994. Are those lessons reflected in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King?"
