Critics Consensus

Looking Glass gives Nicolas Cage a chance to turn in an atypically understated performance, but this is still a suspense thriller with a fatal dearth of suspense or thrills.

The result is a hollow vehicle that Cage simply floats through on autopilot, and he peers through a mirror at a more exciting world beyond his grasp, it's impossible not to relate.

Nicolas Cage dials it down a few notches for a derivate thriller about strange doings at a desert motel.

Nicolas Cage's starring presence explains why it's such a compelling and offbeat little thriller.

Looking Glass is a surprisingly not unhinged Nicolas Cage film that works.

2/10

Despite being billed as a suspense thriller, there is zero suspense throughout, questions that are raised never answered satisfyingly, and even as it throws a twist towards the end, there are so few characters here that you just don't give a damn about.

Looking Glass wastes its talented cast on poor writing filled with clich after clich, an odd and uninviting artistic vision from the ground up, thinly developed characters, and an overabundance of narratives and plot devices.

Slow-moving and not very exciting. I gave it 3 stars because I'm a Nic Cage fan.

Una historia confusa y bastante mala en general pero llevada de manera bastante decente en cuanto a ritmo así que resulta medianamente llevadera para terminar de verla.

It could've been better. It's like the movie ended, without the major questions being answered completely. It's been done before, many times. This is not the best example of this basic story onscreen

Minus the last 5 minutes, this is a thrill-less thriller, totally. It’s also dull as heck. It did pique my interest For the entire 1h45min however

Spooky and surreal. You'll feel uncomfortable at times, but to me, original filmmaking. Quite surprised by the negative reviews. This is beautifully shot and well acted, very noir.
