  I had no idea Irene Jacob was in this until she popped up on screen - what a film to debut in!

  There is so much to love about this one, but I feel that the most important aspect of "Mandy" is the late Johan Johansson's score (Sicario, Arrival). It is his final gift to cinema-goers before his untimely death, but it is unbelievably brilliant and gives the story so much more impact, mood, feeling, and power (just like his…
