Beautifully made in terms of its cinematography. India carries this film with her wonderful acting, her supporting cast does a great job. The film has an unfortunately anticlimactic ending. The sub plot about a twin sister was confusing. I liked India, her acting was great with becoming a different person and she had a lot of great scenes as the mirror character.

The thought they were really doing something here.

The idea of a reflection becoming something haunting is cool enough to get you through the subpar story.

For a film with such a boring and forgettable title this was actually really good. It was engaging and interesting. Even though the core concept was relatively unoriginal, the execution is what makes this so entertaining. The casting is perfect and so is the acting. All of the cast feel right for the roles. The film is beautifully made, the cinematography and the music are literally perfect. There is a visual interest and variety so it never feels drab unlike some other similar films. It reminded me of S. Darko (2009) which I actually really enjoyed also. My only gripe was that I didn't like the ending, it was a very disappointing ending for me. It reminded me of the weak ending for May (2002). Well worth watching but be prepared for a weak ending to a strong story.

Omg I love this movie and India Eisley is amazing, I wasn't surprised to see she is a Scorpio and we share the same birthday, India Eisley tapped into that magnetic, vindictive, revengeful darkness that only a Scorpio knows and keeps well controlled, but so perfect for this role. You are a master of your art India Eisley, superb, elegant, stunning! I took off one star only for the ending, but damn I enjoyed the ride from start to finish.

Not a bad film. You follow a teenage girl which has a bit of an alternative way to deal with her issues. Interesting concept. (For the people that have lost it in reviews before, When I say 'teenage' that means the character is 17, the actress herself was very much older than 18. No need to complain about 'underage nudity')

Los Angeles Times

"Look Away" mostly fails as a "killer teen" movie. The pace is too slow, and the mood too somber.

Common Sense Media

Director Assaf Bernstein's version of this in Look Away turns into a slow-paced horror film that aims for depth but delivers cheap thrills.

Rated: 1/5

It might not be the savviest horror ever made due to its juvenile messaging, but its clean and cold aesthetics and villainous characters just about manage to pull it through.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

This is an interesting film whose serious problems shouldn't be allowed to eclipse the good work on display. Nevertheless, you may find it uncomfortable to watch, and not always in a good way.

Rated: 3/5
