Leave your thoughts about Mouthpiece.
| Original-CinLiam LaceyThe subject may be glum but there is something consistently pleasurable about Mouthpiece, a film that is both audacious in execution and relatable, even for those of us who don't live in women's bodies. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyBest of all, they haven't sacrificed emotional impact. Mouthpiece is a deeply moving piece of work. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Simon HouptIn revealing Cassandra’s interior life, Rozema lays bare the modern female condition in an epic battle that is by turns lacerating, soothing and heartbreaking. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThere are times when this visual twist confuses rather than elucidates. However, there’s no denying the bracing, honest nature of Mouthpiece, a truly revolutionary piece of filmmaking. |
| TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanUltimately, the filmmakers’ intention isn’t to throw us off but to invite us in, to encourage us to wonder: Is it really so strange for one woman to have two reactions to life? |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film is notable more for its unusual conceit than as a serious exploration of grief and familial relationships. |
| User ReviewDawdlingPoetThis film is quite thoughtful - it has a real theatrical feel to it. It didn't surprise me its based on a play. It has quite a floaty/dreamlike look to it. Its mildly amusing at times too. It's got quite shaky camerawork, which may frustrate people and I suppose its not entirely original, plot-wise but I thought its quite good as an arty type of a film and I liked the concept (even if it isn't entirely original) - the concept of there being the 2 versions of the same person - their internal and external self portrayed on screen. I would recommend this film overall - it is a somewhat quirky film which may appeal to some. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001Knowing that it was based on a play it's clear to me that it would look fascinating on stage, but in a film the dynamics of dual acting stop being interesting after a while. The thematic reading and its backstory are better than the film manages to evoke, and that's not a good thing because at the end of the day it's only that presentation that leaves an impression and everything else is lost, especially its exploration of loss. |
