Great Film, 14 June 2009
10/10
Author: starrygrrl from United States

The Mandala maker was by far the best film I've seen all year.. I enjoyed it so much that I wish it was longer!! Great acting, great story. As an artist i can relate to the process of making art and that art itself has healing powers. I wonder what the inspiration was for the film? Courtney did a wonderful job as the artist whose life seamed to be going no where until she got inspired. Her boyfriend played by Conor was great as well! The writing and the dialogue was great! The music was uplifting and I would buy a soundtrack if there is one available. I definitely need to see Sammy's other works for he is a genius.
