Thanks to Midi Z's brilliant command of visual metaphors and compassion for his subjects, [Mandalay] is elevated into an unnervingly immediate portrait of the human cost of displacement.
Both Wu Ke-xi and Kai Ko were phenomenal in their performances and Midi Z has probably in Mandalay his best work so far.
[Road to Mandalay] ends up instead as the oddly frustrating work of a director who clearly knows what he's doing but not what he actually wants to do.
The film's cinematic flair is occasionally increased through high drama and surrealism; the ending is too much, but before it there's an excellent flourish.
A notable addition to the ever-swelling list of films that deal with migration.
Compassionate and honestly told, it is a real empathy machine of a movie. And, of course, you can't watch it without thinking of the desperate plight of Burma's Rohingya Muslims.
