Leslie Felperin Guardian The two women give the movie a satisfying emotional core, even if the storyline is a bit of a letdown. Rated: 3/5 Nov 2, 2021 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Robyn Lively's affecting performance anchors this offbeat Southern Gothic thriller. Oct 8, 2020 Full Review David Reddish Queerty Through the Glass Darkly provides thrills and intrigue without Hollywoods usual cheap tricks of jump scares and special effects. Rather, it gives a veteran actress a chance to shine as never before. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 13, 2022 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com You can overlook the odd flub but once clues literally start jumping out in front of our DIY detectives you really have to wonder whether the narrative needed more work. Contrivance is one thing, but this makes the whole shebang just too hard to swallow. Rated: 1/5 Nov 8, 2021 Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review Though there's some twists and turns that some may see coming thanks to the familiarity with the genre, a certain character reveal is what the film evidently banks on and, to its credit, it pulls it off entirely Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Pauline Adamek FILMINK (Australia) ... an engaging whodunnit with just enough fresh elements and confident storytelling to see you through to its mildly predictable finale. Rated: 15/20 Nov 2, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Eric N Good actors and all, but a very slow movie that isn't very captivating. Trying to rely on audience scores but this one is a bust. A couple interesting twists, but mostly boring conversations and snail pace plot. It actually seemed like a really interesting movie at the start, but failed to keep a good rythm. Some characters and scenes were over the top and alot of the film just felt unrealistic. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Spoopily W I wasn't excited by this movie. Boring, slow.... and the end was predictable. Not a thrill to be found. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review avindu g A mourning mother a lonely soul brought to life flawlessly by Robyn Lively. Story is immersive and heartbreaking but with all the excellent work it's message is on toxicity of prejudices and that lives flourish in places unheard of when blessed with love. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Rotten is too good a rating. This junk is horrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A year after her daughter's disappearance in Elrod, Georgia, another local girl goes missing and Charlie (Robin Lively, The Karate Kid Part III, Lana Milford from Twin Peaks) is convinced that there is a connection. The only bad part? The police and community believe that Charlie is guilty of this new abduction. Originally known as Through the Glass Darkly, this is the full-length directorial debut of Lauren Fash. She does a great job at balancing the Southern gothic and stranger in a strange land dynamics of this movie in very subtle ways. The real villain of this piece may as well be the town of Elrod. While she's wary of the reporter in town trying to get her first big story, Georgia is smart enough to know how to use her to get the information that she really wants. Yet everyone in town seems to know more than they should while also believing that our protagonist is the cause of all of her own — and so many others' — challenges.
