Magic Mirror

About This Movie

So, there's this film, 'Magic Mirror', from 2017 that dives deep into some really heavy themes. It's set in Croatia, and you follow this 10-year-old girl grappling with loss and family curses. The atmosphere is a mix of somber and magical, which plays nicely against the backdrop of her struggle. I found the pacing a bit uneven at times, but it enhances the sense of urgency as she seeks her grandfather to break the curse left behind by him. The performances, especially from the young lead, are raw and carry a lot of emotional weight. Musically, it’s woven into the narrative in a way that feels organic, adding depth without overpowering the story. It's certainly got a unique vibe.

Explores themes of loss and family legacy.Unique cultural backdrop with a blend of realism and magic.Interesting use of music that supports the narrative.
