Movie Info

A poetic, experimental debut feature circling the origin of the death myth from the Chinookan people in the Pacific Northwest, malni - towards the ocean, towards the shore follows two people as they wander through their surrounding nature, the spirit world, and something much deeper inside. At its center are Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier, who take separate paths contemplating their afterlife, rebirth, and death. Probing questions about humanity's place on earth and other worlds, Sky Hopkina's film will have audiences thinking (and dreaming) about it long after.

All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (7)

  • It refreshingly centers the Native perspective, and beckons audiences onto its wavelength by tapping into something more intuitive, the stuff of dreams.

    Beatrice Loayza

    New York Times

  • This type of cinema is many times the kind that's truly radical, not because of its politics or its impressions of the world at large, but because it presents something evocative, unique, and un-replicable in its personal voice.

    Film Inquiry

  • Maɬni - Towards the Ocean, Towards the Shore, is uniquely concerned with landscapes, and captures them with a rare intensity and fullness.

    Nashville Scene

  • [Director Sky] Hopinka creates an all-enveloping, multilayered confluence. I found this hypnotic invitation to that mystical world irresistible.

    KDHX (St. Louis)

  • Nature never feels like the window dressing in these hypnotic images, but intrinsically tied to the reflections contemplated by the subjects themselves.

    Glenn Heath Jr.

    The Film Stage

  • Hopinka's highly individual, beautiful style is worth savouring as he guides you through this introspective journey of identity, language and life.
