Diane Morgan's new comedy vehicle is Mandy, an amusingly truculent grifter seeking work in the gig economy. Face stuck in a lopsided, permanently sullen gurn, she is packed off to work in a banana-processing factory. Cue an inspired, fantastically tasteless musical sequence during which many tarantulas rhythmically meet their maker in time to Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat Song. However, an unfortunate mishap involving 17 deaths soon means she is back to square one. A pleasingly sour confection.
Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 13th August 2020Review: Mandy
