Critic Reviews

Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Even if it is too brief to do more than touch on some very, very big questions, the film is an entertaining survey of the many ways we humans imprint the material world with our sincerest hopes and daffiest delusions.
-
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle
Mana -- Beyond Belief doesn't have narration, which is one of the film's strengths.
-
Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews
The medium is also the message: the film itself has mana, offering "a gateway into a whole realm of knowledge," material and spiritual.
-
Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies
It's clear we're to embark on a quest for mana, but it's worth noting that the Maori grins mischievously during his spiel, suggesting the whole concept has an element of humour.

Mana offers no answers, just observations.
