"One could catalog all the awesome things in "Mandy" — the dueling chainsaws, the Cheddar Goblin, the nightmarishly enveloping score by the late Jóhann Jóhannson, Nicolas Cage at his screaming-in-his-tighty-whities best — without quite penetrating the awesomeness of "Mandy." Suffice to say that Panos Cosmatos' metal-to-the-max revenge thriller is more than just the sum of its deranged set pieces, choice as they are: Its slow-drip blend of hardcore pulp and demonic fantasy has a patience and all-consuming conviction that simply cannot be faked. Pulverizing though it may be, "Mandy" isn't an assault; it's an immersion, and one that demands the attention of a big screen." - Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
