Mana gives us compelling, damaged characters who we want to help -- or hurt.

Never [sinks] into exploitation.

At once subtle and visceral, the film never succumbs to the trap of the maudlin or tearful, offering instead with its unflinching gaze a measure of faith in the future.

Deliberately and skillfully uses ambiguity to suggest possibilities which imbue the theme with added depth and resonance.
