Look Away (2018)

WOW ,, I didn't really expect it to be that good at first ,, but the plot is somewhat genuine and the events escalate with no dull gabs almost 80% of the movie had that mysterious tense dramatic effect ... the script was a bit short but for a low budget movie the montage, directing and casting .. all exceeded my expectations..

The casting was good .. India Eisley was phenomenal .. and i just remembered she was on the Underworld third movie i think back 2012 ,, and here she did well presenting the psychotic mind even if it had a bit of (sci-fi) element if you might call it ,, still she's all set to reappear in the next couple of months in the Drama "Adolescence" .. loved seeing Jason Isaacs and Mira Sorvino too.

final judgment .. definitely recommended ;)

Fmovies: I loved this movie! The motley crew of characters were beautifully portrayed by the cast. From jason Isaacs self indulgent, perfectionism - to Mira Sorvino's disturbing deep-seated sadness and her hunger for her husbands attention - to John C. MacDonald's portrayal of the school bully, who deep inside knows he could never get the attentions of the beautiful Maria. Yes, he was incredibly believable, they all were.

And lets not forget (how could we she was SO good,)India Eisley. She was exceptional to say the least and she's a new find for me. Needless to say, I want to see more of her. Her portrayal of the demure, disturbed, invisible school girl to her confident, angry alter-ego twin, was flawless. Her expressions alone were noteworthy. I think and hope we're going to see more of this young actress in the near future.

Was this a perfect movie, no. There are flaws and I think the ending needed a bit more attention but I was in for the long haul within the first 10 minutes and I'm glad I stayed the course because it delivered. IMO it's worth a watch and definitely worth your time.

Maria (India Eisley) is a timid high school senior. Her father Dan (Jason Isaacs) is a plastic surgeon who is obsessed with perfect looks. Her mother Amy (Mira Sorvino) is struggling with depression. At school, her only friend figure skater Lily is possessive of her boyfriend Sean. She gets bullied by schoolmate Mark and his friends. She starts having visions of her reflections acting differently and talking back to her. The reflection calls herself Airam.

It has the tone of a good slow moody horror without the scares. It is a bit too slow and Mark really needs to die to set it off. Mark's bullying is problematic when the only person coming to her rescue is Sean. The skating party comes off really weird when everybody is laughing at her. There is one creepy aspect to this movie. While India is 25 and the character is 18, India looks really young and the sexual erotic aspect gets voyeuristic. It would be less creepy if she's playing a college student. She's a quiet actress and seems limited in range. She is able to play two separate personalities and that works better than expected.

Look Away fmovies. This movie had me hooked from its first scene to last even though I couldn't wait for it to end.

As a thriller fanatic, I have to say as I've entitled this, that this movie re-integrates all the codes you have seen previously in this kind of "mirror and twisted reality" universe. What's good here is the storyline is well built, do not expect jumpscares but instead prepare yourself for some great tension going on. Another great point : All characters have their role and contribution, and btw let salute the acting. I am discovering India Eisley in this movie and can tell this is a pleasant surprise, she carries the film on her shoulder, no doubt about it. To sum up this is the kind of movie where you hop into within the ten first minutes, and stay stuck until the very end. An enjoyable dark tale, and a nice and wise addition to the genre.

The film was fine but its end was absurd and unfinished story and director and writer were crazy to make the end of the film without value and no sense nor supplement. The film is not suitable for family watching becuse of the abundance of nudity in the film.
