An avant-garde, David Lynchian film, Mandy is an incoherent mess. There’s no real story, just a vague impression of a revenge tale. Nicolas Cage leads the cast (for whatever that’s worth), but the real star is the cinematography, ‘cause the film just looks amazing; giving off a surreal, ethereal vibe. And the set designs are especially well-done. However, the pacing is excruciatingly slow and the storytelling is abysmal; requiring the audience to fill-in huge gaps as to how characters got from point A to point B and what they’re doing and why. Mandy is a visual spectacle to be sure, but it’s also incredibly boring and pointless.
