Review of Mandy (2018) by Midairman — 24 Sep 2018
I really wanted to love this movie. The tone kind of jumps around and the beginning of the movie seems as though the director assumed people would go into it high. There were a lot of psychedelic colors and effects early on.
The movie mellows out as it goes. Some of the scenes are incredibly violent and pull no punches while others seem like they took a step back. Nick Cage is Nick Cage in this movie. Enough said. The best scene in the movie takes place in a bathroom.
Seeing him laugh cry on a toilet in his underwear is something I never thought I would see, but I have now. I really wish this movie would have swung for the fences, but it appears that the director had second thoughts and was at conflict with himself on the movie he wanted to make.
It could have been so much more.
