Editorial Reviews

Celebrated sci-fi writer Neil Gaiman, who created the Sandman series, scripted this visually adventurous fantasy. Helena (Stephanie Leonidas) is a 15-year-old girl who has spent nearly her entire life on the road, traveling with her parents Joanne and Morris (Gina McKee and Rob Brydon), who make a living as circus performers. One night, Helena wishes for a quieter and more stable life, only to panic when her mother falls seriously ill, ending up in the hospital. Afraid she's caused her mother's illness, Helena slips into an alternate reality known as the Dark Lands, where nearly everything behaves differently and all is ruled by the Queen of Light and the Prime Minister (also played by McKee and Brydon). As it happens, the Queen of Shadows' daughter, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Helena, has gone missing; the Queen of Light has fallen unconscious as a result; and both queens' minders are looking for the child. As Helena struggles to make her way back to her own world to help her own mother, she discovers the Queen of Shadows' daughter has taken her place. Helena is aided in her journey by a gifted juggler named Valentine (Jason Barry), and together they seek to access a magic charm which will return everyone to the land where they belong. MirrorMask was produced by the Jim Henson Company, with most of the sets and many of the characters created using digital-effects technology. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Unique and imaginativeby Anonymous

October 22, 2009: Despite previous reviews, this movie was very good. It was imaginative and unique. Some might say it is "tedious" with "no emotion" , but I believe this movie offered an appealing plot, a stimulating score, and captavating cinematography for both the child and adult alike.

Tedious Messby Anonymous

May 30, 2009: How a film with such extravagant Imagery can be so incredibly boring is a lesson for any student of film. Wonder after wonder floats across the screen without reason in a meaningless display so tedious it is literally astounding! How can so many wonders be so dull? The plot is idiotic, the world has no rules, the characters act like deranged automatons, the performances are stilted, the direction is abysmal and it seems to have been written by someone who has never experienced the simplest of human emotions, if that is possible. The film even violates the rules it has set up. Mirrormask is a literal guide of what not to do when writing or directing a film. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
