Look Away (2018)

An introverted teenager changes places with her mirror opposite.

A more or less philosophical horror film. Using the idea that each person hides a negative version/side of themselves, Look Away also links to other negative factors, namely the influence of one's parents and their own relationship and interaction with each other, their high expectations that overrules the emotional element and the school context and the effect of bullies. Beautifully filmed, Look Away contains some powerful scenes, but as a whole it suffers from an unnecessarily slow rhythm and an unhealthy proportion of style over content.

Director:  Assaf Bernstein     
With: India Eisley, Jason Isaacs, Mira Sorvino, Penelope Mitchell

Rating: 6/10
