Critics Consensus

Mandy's gonzo violence is fueled by a gripping performance by Nicolas Cage -- and anchored with palpable emotion conveyed between his volcanic outbursts.

Cage is utterly in his element.

I didn't much care for the film, but I can see how it might appeal to gorehounds and fans of genre cinema.

Beautifully-shot film, although sometimes the use of processed grain and lens flares were distracting. The second half was exactly what I wanted, but the first half is a bit slow.

Rated: B

Butler's Cinema Scene

A revenge melodrama that practically pulsates with human agony while radiating a psychological/surreal intensity that is simultaneously seductive and repellant. This might be great filmmaking. It might be trash. I could make a case for either.

Rated: A-

“Mandy” is a nightmarish fever dream that’s as hypnotic, horrifying, and emotionally devastating as you wanted it to be.

Rated: 5/5

The score and cinematography are some of the highlights of this movie. It's one of those you have to see to understand the attention it's getting.

I watched this movie on a lark one night… and it has stuck with me ever since. The artistry is refreshing and it’s a nice break from the overly played gen z horror that plagues all the streaming channels at the moment. It’s definitely artsy as hell… which is why I love it. Cage is as much cage as can be possible in this movie, and he absolutely delivers. Around every turn of every scene I was laughing, but also just like … WTF did I just watch?! I ended up buying this movie and I watch it often. Can’t wait to see more from this director.

Mandy is the type of film that makes you pause and think about what you just watched. It's strange, it's intense, it's scary, but most of all, it's amazing.

Nick Cage at his finest. The score, the colors, the cinematography. Everything is just perfect. The Nick Cage bathroom scene gets me shook every time. Literally one of the greatest acting performances I have ever seen.

Another movie that seems like it was written for Nicolas Cage. The visual effects were trippy and threw in the gore to boot.
