“The most satisfying elements are delivered by Mércedes Manning.”
Not easily labeled, Mercedes portrays complicated, driven characters with deep vulnerabilities. Whether challenging her superior in Darren Aronofsky’s “Zipper” opposite Patrick Wilson, eluding intimacy in “Strictly Sexual: The Series” or defying the expectations of her captor in “Hirokin” opposite Wes Bentley, her choices are perceptive, nuanced and selective. She is at once intellectual and emotional, passionate and reserved, cunning and sensitive.
