Reflection
Directed by Sanna de Vries4m2021
In a little house filled with mirrors, Fiep focuses on her physical imperfections so intensely that her distorted self-image grows out of proportion.
Our read: Reflection (2021) reads as a heavy, slow-burn, grounded drama · war entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
