Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.
From the writer/director of the cult hit Beyond the Black Rainbow comes the best reviewed movie at Sundance, which is also said to be one of Nicholas Cage’s most extraordinary performances.
“Cosmatos has crafted a mind-melting genre orgy of cosmic proportions that’s ridiculously fun.”
— Katherine McLaughlin, Sight and Sound
“Cosmatos’ ability to put us in Red’s head — overwhelmed at first with pain and fury, then saturated by the strange drugs he for some reason feels compelled to try — make this much more than the usual exercise in vicarious bloodshed.”
— John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
“As if its sole goal was to take the heavyweight title of Nicolas Cage’s Craziest Movie Ever, Mandy exhibits what Shakespeare called ‘vaulting ambition’ in producing the nuttiest ways for Cage to get into one phantasmagorical showdown after the next.”
— Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com
“Mandy has so many enjoyably whacked-out elements, it comes as an actual surprise that Barry Manilow’s titular 1974 No. 1 hit is not among them.”
— Dennis Harvey, Variety
