A Magic Mirror

About This Movie

A Magic Mirror, despite its low profile, offers a fascinating blend of comedy and romance that feels both lighthearted and slightly uncomfortable at times. The dynamic between Sandro, the self-absorbed husband, and Giulia, his young wife, captures that classic tension of a new relationship under strain. The pacing feels deliberately uneven, often juxtaposing Sandro’s laziness with Giulia’s eagerness to settle in, which creates this almost surreal atmosphere when Walter enters the scene. His flirtation adds a layer of complexity, revealing hidden desires and unspoken rivalries. The practical effects, especially around the mirror, lend a quirky charm that heightens the film's whimsical undertones. It's one of those smaller films that lingers in your mind, showcasing how subtle performances can drive a narrative forward.
