Niki Caro

Director

Niki Caro (born 1966) is a New Zealand film director known for films including Whale Rider (2002) and the live-action Mulan (2020).

Directed feature films such as Whale Rider (2002), North Country (2005), The Zookeeper's Wife (2017), and Mulan (2020).

Reviews note Niki Caro's Mulan (2020) as visually striking with clear Wuxia influences. Critics praise some spectacle and Gong Li's presence but find the emotional core weakened. The feminist reframing and removal of original's humor divide opinion. Overall reception in the provided review is mixed.

For:Viewers interested in live-action Disney remakes, visually driven films, Wuxia influences, and debates over feminist reinterpretation in mainstream cinema.

 Mulan, along with The Lion King, is the Disney movie of my childhood, the one I loved and watched the most times (the first time being directly in the cinema).
