- It's nice to see Cage get through a movie without doing the thing he usually does, but Looking Glass is pretty much a non-event.Reply
- Looking Glass is surprisingly solid. Think 8MM in a motel. Working off a taut albeit derivative script, Nicolas Cage proves he can still act, specifically like a human, and does so with a level of finesse that is refreshing and engaging. Restraint is the name of the game with Looking Glass, which is why it might irritate some, regardless, it is apparent that Cage has come to play.Reply

- Nicolas Cage's starring presence explains why it's such a compelling and offbeat little thriller.Reply

- Looking Glass isn't a great movie, but it's a very entertaining one, leaning into the wild gesticulations of its lead without exploiting or overusing them.Reply
