Near a coastal village of Thailand, by the sea where thousands of Rohingya refugees have drowned, a local fisherman finds an injured man lying unconscious in the forest. He rescues the stranger, who does not speak a word, offers him his friendship and names him Thongchai. But when the fisherman suddenly disappears at sea, Thongchai slowly begins to take over his friend's life - his house, his job, and his ex-wife.

Joshua Minsoo Kim Slant Magazine Manta Ray functions as an oblique portrait of writer-director Phuttiphong Aroonpheng's anger about the Rohingya refugee crisis in Thailand. Rated: 3/4 Mar 27, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Aroonpheng's great achievement is to convey a sense of humanist outrage while telling an involving, sometimes headily perplexing story in a magical realist register. Sep 22, 2018 Full Review Clarence Tsui The Hollywood Reporter Warm, lush and topical human drama. Sep 8, 2018 Full Review Ren Scateni Vague Visages Featuring powerful lead performances, Manta Ray is like a perfectly wrapped present that needs to be opened with care. Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat Manta Ray certainly has its share of wonderful moments. Rated: 7/10 Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films Subtly filmed and mostly silent in its metaphorical look at societal displacement, Manta Ray is a film of truly artistic beauty. Rated: 4/5 Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Ditto to most of the positive comments by the majority of critics. All I can add is don't miss this movie, it is truly sublime. I expect it will stay with me for a long time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review nefasto r Gorgeous scenes, lot of symbolism, and overall a great story (from what I could gather), but boy o boy, slow peace at that. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Eye candy. Beautiful, beautiful cinematography (fuck the plot!)!! I admit a few scenes confused me, but only in an intriguing sense. Wow. Just. WOW. I'm a big fan of Christopher Doyle and Wong Kar Wai. This movie is definitely up there on some list called "gorgeous things to watch". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Really love the way director tells this story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
