Mirrormask Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Michael Senft
McKean's inexperience as a director trips the film. There is so much going on that the viewer can't take in all the imagery, and McKean's devotion to his skewed vision slows the story to a crawl.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Too long, and too rich, for its own good, but clearly Gaiman and McKean were bursting with ideas. Those ideas fly all over the place, sometimes landing with a thunk, but more often taking the breath away.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
With its mind-numbing excess of digital imagery and lack of compensatory storytelling, MirrorMask suggests that something of Gaiman's is getting lost in translation.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's so beautiful and so different and has such a unique feel to it.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[An] entertaining if sporadically overstuffed package of magic.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Each scene is a masterwork of composition and execution.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Other efforts of this sort have succumbed to terminal whimsy, but director Dave McKean gives us enough reminders of the girl's fragile emotional state to provide some grounding.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Too strange and disjointed to attract much of an audience, but its astonishing visuals showcase a major new talent: first-time feature director and book illustrator Dave McKean.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Like many dreams, you won't remember it when you wake up.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
If you can fall into it, you should be amazed, if not enchanted.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Aggressive visual invention is rarely its own reward, and this movie does nothing to better the odds.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
If MirrorMask is a marvel of visual ingenuity, its monochromatic panoramas are too busy and flat to yield an illusion of depth or to convey a feeling of characters moving in space.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
There is something oddly intoxicating about Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman's coming-of-age fantasy.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
So single-minded in its reach for fantasy, it becomes the genre's evil opposite: banality.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
At best, Helena's wiggy adventures recall such Jean Cocteau films as Orpheus and Blood of a Poet. At worst, they resemble the Vegas act of Cirque du Soleil.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The magical images will engage and fire the imagination of the audience, even if the story sometimes feels cool and understated.
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
For all its flying cats with rainbow wings and navigational library books, MirrorMask barely has a story, its talent and vision focused entirely on its singular dreamworld facade.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The fever-dream universe cooked up by McKean is so brimming with off-the-wall imagination, one wishes it weren't all so hard to penetrate.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Mirrormask is as breathtakingly beautiful to behold as it is tedious to slog through.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
The eye is sated, but the mind wanders.
