This is an interesting type of 'coming of age' story. The quirky visuals are strange at first but then become increasingly intriguing. Like other Neil Gaiman work, there is that theme of parallel worlds that connect to our fantasies. I'm not sure this film is a good choice for anyone who dislikes or doesn't understand metaphors, but for those who enjoy subtle humor and life lessons that aren't always obvious, it's a lovely film. I had seen it some years ago, quite by accident, and had been searching for it since. I think that is a good indication of how much I connected with the film.
Found film from a Steampunk site link. Didn't really know what to expect before I bought it. The posted review didn't really give a true enough taste of movie although the basics were accurate. Its about parallel universes and how lives in one interact with another, played through an almost dream (dream of a dream?) I liked it even though it's probably more of a teen/young adult film. I will watch it again as everyone needs some fantasy escapism plus there is too much detail to take in on one viewing It won't be to everyone's taste, particularly if you wanted horror or blood and guts.
An exquisite treat for the eyes, ears, and imagination. The visuals are absolutely spectacular, and the soundtrack is breathtaking. Well written, with a host of quotable one-liners. Beyond that, it actually has a good story! One of my favorite aspects of this movie is that it is completely devoid of any sexual content, and contains only one mild profanity. Here lies proof that good entertainment and moral cleanliness are not mutually exclusive!
Neil Gaiman's an excellent, imaginative writer. Everyone connected to this movie acquitted themselves well, and the result is treatalicious mindcandy movietripping of a very special kind. If you watch movies to escape reality and have experiences you cannot get in Normaltown, you're in for a good ride with Mirrormask. I bought this for my teen daughter, but it was admired by all (including her-the ultimate compliment) who count what's cool.
I really enjoy watching this film, I have since the first time I sat down with my friends in the living room on that rainy night. The lights were out due to the storm, so we all huddled together around the laptop to watch. This film is very much something to enjoy with others. The elements of mystery, fantasy, and even a hint of thrill cause me to smile throughout the duration of the film. In some ways the movie reflects every genre, and has something for everyone, and even things we can relate to. Not fitting in well with others, feeling like an outcast, feeling detatched from family. The biggest impact of relation is the idea that many people completely throw themselves in stories and ideas that they keep secret. In Mirrormask we're able to see the secrets and stories thought up by a teenage girl, which is always interesting. I decided to buy it since I was tired of renting it four times a year or waiting for it to come on cable.Read full review
