"8.2. Netflix Komean näköistä tajunnanvirtasekoilua, jossa tuskin kukaan muu, kuin Nicolas Cage olisi yhtä kotonaan. Mainot musiikit painostavat myös hetkinä, jolloin kuvasto ei."

"Hävyttömän tyylikäs taidekauhuleffa. Överit värifiltterit ym. toimivat tässä yllättävän hyvin tahdotun tunnelman saamiseksi, tietenkin yhdistettynä mahtavaan soundtrackiin. Harvoinpa sitä missään elokuvassa kuulee näin puhtaasti ei -elokuvamusiikkityylistä musiikkia. Tässä tapauksessa taustalla soi jonkinnäköinen horror synth / dark ambience / drone metal, ja kuullaampa yhdessä kohtauksessa melkeinpä lähinnä black metal -henkistä matskua. Osuvaa, kun ottaa huomioon ett�"

" "You're just meat. Without a soul, without a brain, without anything. Animal. You, you have no spirit- everlasting! No, no radiant light! I possess elucidations you will never know!" Arriving from director Panos Cosmatos (son of the late George P. Cosmatos, who was responsible for such '80s gold as Rambo: First Blood Part II and Cobra), Mandy is a weird, hard-to-nail mood piece which finds Nicolas Cage able to both act legitimately, and ham it up. It's a simplistic revenge story, with Cage seek"

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- November 2018 (29 movies items)

" DVD- 2hrs. 1min. First Viewing I respect so much of the vision and craftsmanship on display in Mandy, in conception and execution, that it begrudges me to say that it bored me. Filmmaker Panos Cosmatos has crafted an immaculate movie, scoring top notch work from every member of his crew. Cinematography, sound, score (Jóhann Jóhannsson's final score might just be his best), acting (especially Cage's go-for-broke work), etc; he's done Fincher-level work creating mood and atmosphere in a film.

"Esto es lo que pasa cuando a un autor le gustan muchas cosas y quiere integrarlas en una sola película, si por separado son cosas geniales y en las película se esfuerza para serlo también pero a la hora de la ejecución solo se ven un montón de elementos separados que no terminan de unirse; Pero eso no significa que no haya buenos momentos pues a la hora de la acción ese uso del color le viene bien para representar la locura que trata de tener la película. En in puede ser algo mu interesan"

“I was afraid Mandy wouldn't live up to the hype, but this film stood and delivered. It contains some of the finest atmosphere building and mood setting I've witnessed in a modern film. The cinematography and use of color are mind blowing. The story is minimalist but well done. There aren't many films that can make me genuinely unsettled but also get me to laugh at how ballsy and over the top they are.

This movie felt like it was tailor made for Nicholas Cage and it was great to see him in a fitting role again. I'd never heard of Panos Cosmatos before this film, but I certainly hope he directs more movies. As stylish revenge films with philosophical undertones go, this is top notch stuff.” read more

"In the Pacific Northwest in 1983, outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a trippy journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with deadly fire. Since seeing this movie I still can't fully process what I just watched, and that is saying something from someone who watches a lot of movies. The story follows a simple revenge ark in a way that"

"March 14th Directed by: Panos Cosmatos I can't figure out why this is so generally well-liked. There's tons of unnecessary scenes, making it feel way too long, the "fight" scenes are not shot well, and it's made obvious Nic Cage just wasn't capable of doing stunts or fight choreography. This, and it's main attraction is the visuals, but it just looks unpleasant. Is this acceptable colour correction? Because I could do this. On top of all this, it's just not memorable, in a month I'll probably"

TDcore's Horror Journal 2019: January (19 movies items)

" This one has created a pretty big stir, both among the arthouse crowd and your average movie-goers. It's the first film in eight years from Panos Cosmatos, whose last effort was 2010's "Beyond The Black Rainbow" (which I have yet to see), and it's only his second film. It's unique, to say the least, combining elements of revenge films, gore, sci-fi and even religious horror. Cosmatos directs with a steady hand and breathtaking vision. This is a very visual film, full of neon lights, shifting"
