Is the film good?
I wrote in my review of “Mulan” that the film is the one families need during the pandemic, since it is perfect for streaming and not worthwhile for theaters.
“It’s unclear how “Mulan” would have performed in the box office if the coronavirus pandemic hadn’t delayed it. We may never know. Maybe we’ll get numbers from Disney about downloads and whatnot, but we don’t know the true impact of it from that perspective. But in a world full of darkness — a world where death tolls rise, hate speech polarizes and positive messages seem to be lost — having the option to watch a lighthearted film from the comfort of your own home is a win for anyone.”
