Look, as someone who hates just about every movie Nick Cage makes these days, I can confidently say... I haven't seen it.

I'm not much of a fan either, but Mandy doesn't look like anything I've seen him do before.

Color Out of Space is amazing and indeed much better than Mandy, which I also didn't like

Nic Cage makes great movies or terrible ones, nothing in between, but Mandy and Colour out of Space are both great and I will watch Pig when I'm in the mood, it looks good too

Pig is one of the movies of the year and what Cage does there transcends the art of acting.

Color Out Of Space was horrible. Mandy is amazing visually. Definitely worth watching for how creative it is alone.

Has anybody seen The French Dispatch yet? I'm planning on going sometime in the next few days. I don't really have any strong expectations, but definitely want to see it in the theater.
