Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 10/12/2018
"Look Away" mostly fails as a "killer teen" movie. The pace is too slow, and the mood too somber. Go to Full Review

Director Assaf Bernstein's version of this in Look Away turns into a slow-paced horror film that aims for depth but delivers cheap thrills. Go to Full Review

2/5
It might not be the savviest horror ever made due to its juvenile messaging, but its clean and cold aesthetics and villainous characters just about manage to pull it through. Go to Full Review

3/5
This is an interesting film whose serious problems shouldn't be allowed to eclipse the good work on display. Nevertheless, you may find it uncomfortable to watch, and not always in a good way. Go to Full Review

The film leaves an unpleasant puritanical aftertaste. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

قيس جواد- Q @QaisJawad 4d "Look Away is a mysterious and thrilling journey deep into the human psyche, where it succeeds in delivering an unconventional story of identity and revenge. Actress India Easley's performance was stunning in portraying the two contrasting characters, adding a touch of genuine psychological horror. The direction and soundtrack played a big role in creating an atmosphere of tension and anxiety throughout the film. It's a film worth watching for anyone looking for thrillers that go beyond traditional horror and delve into the problems of adolescence and social isolation." See more José Francisco T @jose_fco Dec 28 Look Away plantea una premisa interesante sobre la dualidad y el lado oscuro de la psique adolescente, temas que, en manos correctas, podrían haber construido un thriller psicológico memorable. María, una joven marginada cuyo reflejo/gemela, Airam, cobra vida propia ofreciendo una salida a su tormento. La primera mitad sostiene un ritmo lento aunque por momentos necesario, construyendo una atmósfera de empatía y tensión latente que promete una disección profunda de la identidad. ​Aunque las actuaciones fueron consistentes, la narrativa colapsa trágicamente en su tercer acto. En lugar de profundizar en el conflicto psicológico, el guion opta por el impacto fácil, recurriendo a escenas gratuitas, e incómodas que despojan a la historia de su peso narrativo. Lo que comienza como un estudio sobre la soledad y la incomprensión familiar, termina sintiéndose inconcluso y superficial. Una idea brillante que se rompe, al igual que un espejo, antes de ofrecernos una imagen completa.

See more Yao J @RT24067638 11/05/2024 i think the movie is great, no matter what others say, it's my top10 See more Chad T @Chadoh 10/23/2024 India Eisley is good as poor Maria & the wronged airam l. I originally thought this to be a story of a repressed girl who goes over the edge, but it’s really a sinister ghostly horror story based on rejection & revenge. It’s a bit muddled at times, but anger & rage isn’t always directed where it’s supposed to go. See more Read all reviews
