Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. DungeonSkramz – ★★★★☆
   “How trauma breaks the mind into shattered pieces like a mirror, as reflections of one’s inner psyche start to blur. There’s a harrowing quality to how this film portrays dissociation, and the fragmented narrative mirrors the character’s internal chaos. Despite its exploitation elements, there’s an artistry here that demands attention. Not for the faint of heart, but an interesting exploration of identity.”
2. 💙frances💙 – ★★★★½
   “Ray Blanchard would have a field day with this. It’s a surreal journey through psychos&xual horror that left me both disturbed and intrigued. The performances are unsettling in all the right ways, and the use of mirrors to symbolize fractured identities is brilliant. Definitely not an easy watch, but I couldn’t look away.”
3. hotsake – ★★☆☆☆
   “The only thing even remotely interesting about this film was the use of reflective surfaces and mirrors. The rest felt disjointed and overly exploitative without much depth. It tries to tackle complex themes but gets lost in its own shock value. Not something I’d revisit, but I can see why it might appeal to fans of extreme cinema.”
