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.

Rated: 4/5

The Road To Mandalay starts at a slow burn, but it builds up to a knockout conclusion that makes the preceding exploits reverberate that much more powerfully.

Miki Z further ruins his chances for profundity with an unnecessarily cruel, unexpectedly violent denouement that seems added as an afterthought...

Rated: D

The Film Stage

Even at its least convincing, The Road to Mandalay is a film firmly grounded in humanity and the many unpleasant truths about our world.
