Mulan review and how to watch the new film in the UK

Disney's live-action remake starring Liu Yifei and Jet Li premieres on Disney+ on Friday 4 September
Disney's highly-anticipated live-action remake of Mulan is finally here! The 2020 edition was originally intended to be released in March but, in light of COVID-19, Disney had to rethink its whole release strategy. As much of the world's population is still tucked away indoors, it seems only fitting that the storytelling-giant will premiere Mulan on their new streaming platform Disney+. Mulan will be available from Friday 4 September to subscribers, with an additional cost for Premier Access.
Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro (The Zookeeper's Wide, North Country) brings the epic tale of China's legendary warrior to life in Disney's Mulan. The film follows a fearless young woman who risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known.
The List's Emma Simmonds rated the new film ★★★★☆: 'Where it succeeds most notably is in the casting. Liu makes a credibly understated and determined heroine, and there's some memorable emoting from Pei-Pei Cheng (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as the sour-faced and scandalised Matchmaker in more humorous scenes. Aged upwards as the Emperor, Jet Li is almost undercover until he gets to unleash his own fighting chops, while a scarred, hirsute and sneering Jason Scott Lee is a terrifically menacing Disney baddie.
But it's the great Gong Li who stands out, with her billowing sleeves, scale-covered cloak and white face paint, her Xianniang is not only fabulous but a smart, poignant addition to the story.' read the full review.
