The two women give the movie a satisfying emotional core, even if the storyline is a bit of a letdown. Go to Full Review

Robyn Lively's affecting performance anchors this offbeat Southern Gothic thriller. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

3/5
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 Go to Full Review

... an engaging whodunnit with just enough fresh elements and confident storytelling to see you through to its mildly predictable finale. Go to Full Review

Eric N 07/28/2024 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. See more avindu g 07/20/2022 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. See more 06/30/2022 Rotten is too good a rating. This junk is horrible. See more 11/05/2021 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. See more Read all reviews
