Mirror, Mirror

About This Movie

So, 'Mirror, Mirror' from 2022 feels a bit like a quirky exploration of self-identity wrapped in a comedy. The premise has these employees at a cosmetics firm hashing out their inner desires by arguing with their reflections, which lends itself to some clever, sometimes absurd moments. The pacing is casual, giving you time to digest the dialogues, yet it keeps you engaged with its light, humorous tone. The practical effects of the mirror interactions are surprisingly well done, adding a layer of authenticity to the characters’ struggles. Performances vary, but some really shine, capturing that internal conflict we all grapple with in a more relatable way. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy, and that's what caught my attention.
