Review of Mandy (2018) by Tvjerry — 23 Sep 2018
Apparently, some consider Panos Cosmatos to be a hot new director (although this is only his 2nd film). Granted, he's got an intense visual style and extreme stylized approach, but his skills as a dramatist need work.
This is yet another revenge flick with Nick Cage going after 2 cults after they abduct his wife. The first hour is a slow-burn setup with lots of ominous music and dark atmosphere. Even when the violent acts crank up, they're a bloody disappointment.
Others have done this better and without the tedious histrionics that make this more pretentious than entertaining.
