Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
The director of the film is Tim Hunter, whose feature career goes back to such 1980s gems as “Tex” and “River’s Edge,” and whose TV credits include everything from episodes of the original “Twin Peaks” to “Mad Men.” That explains why it’s such a good-looking film. Nicolas Cage’s starring presence explains why it’s such a compelling and offbeat little thriller.

The A.V. Club -
Because Hunter’s movie works best in its early, less crazed stretch, there aren’t any really memorable sequences here coming from the director or his distinctive star.

The Playlist -
Looking Glass is a hybrid Coen-pastiche and wacky Nic Cage B-movie.

Movie Nation -
Looking Glass fails to be anything more than another make-work project for the cinema’s busiest actor, a man with bills to pay and a conviction that the Devil finds work for idle hands. It’s just that sometimes, it’s better to leave those hands idle than to take whatever the next offer you can squeeze in might be.

Slant Magazine -
There's no follow-through or follow-up on how the main character's voyeurism informs his burgeoning sexual perversions.
