Our critics review Jordan Peele’s “Us,” a thriller starring Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke, about a family that gets terrorized at their beachfront home by doppelgängers; “Hotel Mumbai,” in which a chef and kitchen worker try to protect guests during the 2008 terrorist attack at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel; “The Dirt,” an origin story of the rock group Mötley Crüe.
How accurately does ‘Hotel Mumbai’ retell the 2008 terrorist attack on the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel?
