Nostalgic, Profound, Clever writing, Brilliant acting

See it if you like good old standard theatrical plays. Rather challenging to follow script executed well. Funny sometimes and makes you think.

Don't see it if non stop 2 hours wordy play that needs your attention all the time (otherwise you lose the plot) is too much for you. Read more

There’s an enjoyable twist in the tale, but ultimately A Mirror doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know about censorship. A compelling story, but unnecessarily convoluted at times.
