Definitely not for everyone, this is a niche-of-a-niche type of film: psychedelic-art-horror with a dash of comedy. And I loved it. Some incredible shots and scenes with tons of mind bending crap. So much going on. After a first watch, I think a few of the scenes could ...
Mandy is very much my sort of movie. but it's still not perfect to me. Every trope that makes up Mandy, the neon, the synth, the gore, whatever gimmick nonsense, safe to assume I loved it. But Mandy takes so long to get going. Normally that's not a mark agains...
This is "style over substance" done to the extreme. While visually stunning, even hauntingly beautiful at times, there's utterly no point to any of it. Add to that the ridiculous and sometimes painful dialogue and extremely slow pacing, and you got quite a mess in my bo...

I think this is the strangest review I might ever write. Mostly because the film in question is a strange experience, unlike most others. It's simultaneously a brilliant piece of 80’s horror art and an overindulgent mess that never figures...
Ok, I can see what Panos Cosmatos is going for; riding the 80s vibe but going for heavy metal instead of synthwave. Set in the eighties, there are plenty of references to the cultural conglomerate of the era with glam/speed/heavy metal and fantasy art, b-action machoism...

Nick Allen: As a viewer, you step into a movie like this and you’re excited for its genre spectacle, but then you find out that it’s really sensitive. I was wondering how important that was to you, to have that more gentle nature? ...
"Mandy" is a surreal mind trip of a movie. Shot in reddish-neon colors with a haunting bizarre soundtrack, it starts with logger Nicolas Cage as the most grounded and mellow he's been in years as he cuddles with his girl Mandy in a bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows ...

Saw this movie last week and disliked it at first. Without going into spoilers, I was probably in the wrong mindset to enjoy it properly.
But, it stuck with me for days later and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I ended up liking it a lot and will re-watch it as s...
Being very intrigued and in parts fascinated with Beyond the Black Rainbow from a pure cinephile perspective, I was quite eager to see a new film by Panos Cosmatos. After learning about Mandy and what it was about, and seeing it being a bigger budget and more thought-ou...
This is one weird movie. I have to confess that I am quite a fan of Nicholas Cage. I know he has made more than his share of really crappy movies but I can not help myself. When I see a movie with him in the lead role I still have to watch it. This movie is one of those...
