This is a surprisingly good movie. Very much a film for anyone with a (visually) creative mind as this movie is visually appealing and artistic.

The storyline could probably have been worked on a little as it seemed the usual good vs evil plot. But as I've said, visually, this movie is a blast. The characters and critters involved are strange but appealing. Definitely one to watch,... read more

Strange is the first word that comes to mind after watching MirrorMask but an enjoyable strange.

Helena falls asleep and when she wakes up she finds herself in a strange world that is slowly being consumed by shadow. Helena fin... read more

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I kept hearing some interesting things about the damned thing, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be a seriously weird movie.. In fact, it had been a while since I saw such a bizarre flick. Visually, it was pretty amazing and it reminded me of the work of Terry Gilliam, Guillermo del Toro and 'The Fall' by Tarsem Singh... read more

"Re-watch - Dec. 16th The kiddo chose Mirrormask and so I got to watch it for the second time. I love the style of the film, it's so unique. The visuals, the creatures, and just the entire world created here is endlessly fascinating to me. The story is consistently entertaining, and I love the dry humor. Mostly though I was just glad she enjoyed it and it evidently didn't give her nightmares despite being creepy at times."

" Flexing his multi-media muscles, Dave McKean creates a changeable fantasy would that's as engaging when it flips to two-dimensions as it is in three- unfortunately, his focus on the visuals means the story gets lost somewhat. "
