Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Several stories are told simultaneously: a frog farm in northern Brasil launders money for a corrupt politician; a young woman who was kidnapped for ransom talks about her ordeal; a plastic surgeon discusses then demonstrates how to reconstruct a severed ear; a young business man has his cars armored and takes a course in evasive driving; a policeman in Sao Paulo's anti-kidnapping squad discusses his work; a civil engineer, the attorney general, and a district attorney describe their anti-corruption efforts. Violence and corruption is Brasil: the object is money.
Leave your thoughts about Manda Bala (Send a Bullet).
| PremiereGlenn KennyAs forceful as its title suggests, and sometimes unbelievably ballsy. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeWith an excess of excitable style, samba music, and heady, montage-driven metaphor that threatens to bury his film's key ideas, young-gun director Kohn--a New Yorker with South American roots--has clearly set out to make a splash. So far, he's succeeded. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe title is Portuguese for "send a bullet" and the clever American tag line is "the rich steal from the poor; the poor steal the rich." |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranEdgy and provocative but with a weakness for sensationalistic footage. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorThere’s no denying the sharpness of his (Jason Kohn) insights into a society that hasn’t so much collapsed as reconstituted itself around venality, profiteering and rage. |
| VarietyScott FoundasCrammed into a lively 85-minute package delivered with loads of dark humor and cinematic flair, this is a worthy winner of Sundance's Grand Jury prize for documentary. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinKohn’s gripping Manda Bala is the opposite of a high-school science doc. It’s a free-form portrait of a place--Brazil--with scary running motifs: kidnapping, mutilation, plastic surgery, bulletproofing, and frog farming. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere's no denying its grip: It is lurid, fascinating, sickening, and eye-opening. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezAlthough it is never explicitly stated, Manda Bala essentially argues that when the middle class disappears, the rich and the poor end up feeding on each other, like the frogs that go cannibalistic at the frog farm that gives the movie its central metaphor. |
| Washington PostPhilip KennicottThe subject is huge and worthy, and the film makes a noble effort to embrace some of its complexity. |
