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.

3/4

Manta Ray functions as an oblique portrait of writer-director Phuttiphong Aroonpheng's anger about the Rohingya refugee crisis in Thailand.

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.

Featuring powerful lead performances, Manta Ray is like a perfectly wrapped present that needs to be opened with care.

4/5

Subtly filmed and mostly silent in its metaphorical look at societal displacement, Manta Ray is a film of truly artistic beauty.

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.

Gorgeous scenes, lot of symbolism, and overall a great story (from what I could gather), but boy o boy, slow peace at that.

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".
