Review of MirrorMask (2005) by Kevin M — 06 Aug 2013
Some amazing, artistic visuals with great surrealist and abstract themes! Unfortunately they are delivered in a self conscious fashion. When one glances further at the reflection of Mirrormask, then what becomes apparent is a lack of depth to character development and a lacklustre plot that leaves a pallid streak across the glass.
The immersion is completely shattered by the disjointed and intrusive Jazz soundtrack that breaks through Mirrormask like a brick. This film could have delivered far more, but unfortunately it is a pale reflection of far greater fantasy works.
When fully framed this mirror is more akin to a surgical mirror than one of magic, yes there is skill and talent involved, all the right elements are stitched together, unfortunately the scars are visible for all to see.
