Esra Y Is Mirror the movie Tarkovsky makes himself most vulnerable, or a mirage he gifts us to experience? Either way whenever i sit down to watch, Mirror is a captivating piece of art. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Gabriel E. B Las respuestas no importan. La vida son recuerdos, creíbles, improbables, el rastro de todo lo que me ha traído hasta aquí, al presente. Mirror es una construcción de ensueño, de experiencias, con un tono de realidad, de intensidad; una vida con miedos, con suspenso, con ganas de avanzar, de vivir. No hay explicación, solo fragmentos, con cierta convergencia, con nostalgia, con poesía, con tormento. Es una obra muy personal; todos los cineastas deberían tener un encuentro con ella. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Ian S One of Tarkovsky's less accessible movies and maybe bordering on pretentiousness at times but it wins out on the great visuals and artistry of the overall film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Dušan A Some memorable shots and bits of poetry, but otherwise did not speak to me Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Mason M What seems to be a disjointed exploration of a man's life through his scattered memories, may be difficult to understand or connect to, but was still an interesting film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Michael F Andrei Tarkovsky’s "Mirror" stands as a poetic and introspective exploration of memory and history, defying traditional narrative structure and telling the story with a stream-of-consciousness approach that resembles the workings of the human mind. Many believe that the director intentionally uses recurring motifs such as mirrors, which symbolize self-reflection, to convey deeper meanings. However, Tarkovsky himself states that no symbols are present in this particular film, and all scenes are identically rebuilt from his own memories and dreams. Besides, the camerawork in the film put the audience into the director’s mind with an extremely subjective point of view, leading us into a world of haziness with distinct emotions. Overall, Mirror is a film that demands attention and contemplation, rewarding patient audiences with a profound emotional and intellectual experience.
