Movie Reviews

NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferA tender, well-acted drama brimming with warmth and humanism.
MediaMikes - 8/10 by Michael A. SmithIn his four decade career, director Hancock has always excelled in smaller, personal films. From "Bang the Drum Slowly" to the Nick Nolte prison drama "Weeds," Hancock manages to give the characters meaning, bringing them to the forefront of the story.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Barbara ShulgasserMoving coming-of-age tale has mature themes.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Glenn KennyThe fact that the film’s most resonant and likable portions are those in which nothing actually happens almost too nicely encapsulates why The Looking Glass falls sadly flat throughout much of its running time.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Gary GoldsteinTristan's creaky, often episodic script attempts to tackle some big topics — art, love, loss, family bonds, mortality — but does so in such a forced, talky way that it's hard to buy into the tale's earnest emotional core.
User Review - 8/10 by Jose BA bit slow at first, but tells a sweet story that says everybody gets second chances. The movie follows a girl named Julie who moves in with her grandma after her mom dies. At first she is very miserable. But when things aren't looking up her grandma introduces her to theatre where Julie auditions and instantly gets the main part. The movie shows the ups and downs of life.
User Review - 6/10 by Facebook UThis felt a lot like a tv movie. All nice, all sweet, dramas, so so acting. The film stays even all along though, pacing itself and we just need to let ourselves floating down the river until we make it to the ocean. Faking was good enough. The grandma was doing pretty good though. It was good to see a very old one with a sharp mind to the end.
