Mandy Reviews

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.
