About This Movie

Mirror, Mirror is one of those quirky comedies that attempts to bring a bit of French flair to American cinema. Set against the backdrop of a shared apartment, it centers on a straight country boy navigating life with a bunch of drag queens. The performances can be hit or miss, but there's a certain charm in the everyday interactions, making it a snapshot of a specific time in LGBTQ+ cinema. The pacing is a bit uneven, with some slow patches that may test your patience, but there's an underlying warmth that shines through the mundane. It’s an interesting exploration of identity and community, even if it doesn’t quite land as intended.

Mirror, Mirror had a fairly limited release, which contributes to its scarcity in collector circles. It's often overshadowed by similar films from the same era, but for those who enjoy drag-centric narratives, it holds a certain niche appeal. The film has seen various formats over the years, but early editions are becoming increasingly hard to find, making it a little gem for dedicated collectors of LGBTQ+ cinema.
