Synopsis

Reminiscent of ALICE IN WONDERLAND and LABRYNTH, MIRRORMASK is a fantasy tale of an intelligent young girl on a journey through a magical world. It is also a visually astounding piece of filmmaking, updating the fairy-tale quest in a coming-of-age story imbued with dark beauty.

Reviews

"This dazzling reverie of a kids-and-adults movie, an unusual collaboration between lord-of-the-cult multimedia artist Dave McKean and king-of-the-comics Neil Gaiman (The Sandman), has something to astonish everyone."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"If THE WIZARD OF OZ were reborn in the 21st century, it might look a lot like MIRRORMASK. A product of the Jim Henson laboratory, the film is endlessly inventive with creativity to burn."

   - James Greenberg, The Hollywood Reporter

"... the film's look is nothing short of breathtaking."

   - Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide

"Richly inventive."

   - Walter Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

"... packed with amazing, hallucinatory dream-imagery that makes real dreams look flat by comparison."

   - Tasha Robinson, The Onion (A.V. Club)
