With Jodie Foster's surprise win at the Golden Globes, you may be tempted to watch The Mauritanian online. But where can you find The Mauritanian streaming? The legal drama is currently playing in theaters and is also available on video-on-demand.

The Mauritanian is based on a true story told by Mohamed Ould Salahi in his 2015 memoir, Guantanamo Diary. It recounts his ordeal at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, where he was held for 14 years without indictment or trial.

Salahi (Tahar Rahim) hires defense attorney Nancy Hollander (Foster) and her colleague Teri Duncan (Shailene Woodley) to help him in his quest for justice. Their work and the discovery of fabricated evidence by military prosecutor Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Couch (Cumberbatch) reveal a shocking and far-reaching conspiracy.

Reviews of The Mauritanian are mixed, but focus on the performances of the cast. Here's a roundup of comments from film critics:

Janet Katsouris (New York Times): "Tasteless characters and a barrage of flashbacks further detract from our involvement in this drama.

Birge Ebiri, Vulture: The Mauritanians is a noble but unsophisticated effort to tell this man's story. Its beats are familiar, its anger subdued, its narrative diffuse. But in its final moments, the film delivers a stunning, devastating shock.

David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter: "... Despite its star power and the gripping central performance of Tahar Rahim as Surahi, this legal procedural film remains strangely flat. It is an unquestionably well-intentioned treatment of a dark chapter in American justice, but it is a methodical and earnest work to all intents and purposes."

Brian Talerico, RogerEbert.com: "The performances by Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster, and Benedict Cumberbatch are impressive. However, The Mauritanians fails to humanize the story it is telling, making it no more challenging or interesting than a superficial and manipulative account of true events."
