Mandy is cosmic horror and beauty all rolled up into one. By the time I've written this review, I've seen the movie four times. Each time, it gets better and better, and more surrealistic.
Mandy is a tragic love story that is one of those "hail marys" of independent cinema. Nick Cage is a real treat for this film, especially considering how so many of his recent films are such absolute garbage (let's be honest).
This is a gem in the rough. The beginning starts off with the male version of "Yoko Ohno" singing, and it's rather offputting. But holy damn hell balls, the viewer is in for a treat. It becomes beatiful, sad, honest, gorgeous, cerebral, and absolutely insane. A couple who just wants to escape is thrown into an 80's infuled trip to hell. It's as engaging as it is tragic.
The acting is incredible, and the violence is unbelievable. Nick Cage really sells it, more than usual. Andrea Riseborough nails it. It's both surrealism, and pure modern art in its most raw form. I love this movie. I hope you do too. No drugs influenced this reviewer's opinion.
