Lyrical and mysterious, but fairly difficult.

After watching all of Tarkovsky's films except this, I waited for the proper moment to warrant a viewing; and found it tonight. It needs to be re-watched. And as with any story, your own experiences and memories mire/help. Found some deeply poignant moments that crept up like knives in my back.

Viewing this film on 35mm is a truly profound and spiritual experience.

It is said that art is supposed to hold a mirror up to nature. This film holds a maze of mirrors up to a mind.

I honestly can't wait to rewatch Zerkalo on Bluray in 2012, it's a beautiful film on so many levels. I can only imagine how awe-inspiring it was (can be?) on the big screen.

    I've had the pleasure of watching this film in a crowded theater about a year and a half a ago and it truly is overwhelming.

I would say it was a contender for the greatest film ever made, if that didn't sound flippant. Oh hell: I think it's the best film ever made.

Is incredible how a movie can change the essence of around. Beautiful perspective of tarkovsky and beautiful poems of his father, i'm in love with this.

I have yet to find another filmmaker that can express the beauty of our existence in such a poetic way.

film equivalent of literary modernists' stream of consciousness narrative. Best scenes: Alexei's offscreen phone call with his mother as the camera tracks through the empty apartment; (and of course) opening sequence as the wind ripples through the vast Russian landscape creating waves through the tall grass. Worst scene in Tarkovsky's work: the releasing of doves on Alexei's deathbed that ends in freeze cut.

Honestly, I slept 2 times when watching it. I should admit that some images were great and i also love poems but it is difficult and introverted movie. So i would prefer reading Dostoyevski instead of watching it. 3 stars.

Spellbinding. I watched it again just to see the water oscillate in the glass jug.

La película más personal de Tarkovsky. Mi favorita de él, y es que es la que más me habla, más me deja, más me conmueve.

No moral plot, what we experience are various abstract images that comes from a man who realizes that he is moments away from death. Nostalgia and memories come to mind. The mother looks deep into her "mirror" and suffers a dark presence. The metaphor of the title is the subconscious of a human's soul, but mostly the sensibility of be guided into a dream. An autobiographical work of genius as we see his childhood.

So personal and emotional, only Tarkovsky himself understands all of the film. I felt the depression brought on by his memories and dreams though. Very powerful film. Plus I love the constantly moving camera.

This film delivers an impressive punch on the second viewing. Beautifully overwhelming.

It's a very difficult film, the first time I watched it I dismissed most of its scenes as merely surreal with no apparent meaning, big mistake. It's a carefully woven, deeply personal work with poetry this time both visual by Tarkovsky and narrated by his father. I felt miserable when I found out how little I understood this movie, so it provides compelling second viewings.

Maybe it's me, but I just didn't get this film. While I've enjoyed almost every other film by Tarkovsky, especially "Nostalghia," "The Sacrifice," and "Stalker," this film left me cold, and quite puzzled. Many reviews here state it needs to be watched more than once to be appreciated. I believe that's the sign of a flawed film. There were some extraordinary images, but I failed to find any cohesive element.

An enchantment of poetic imagery only Tarkovsky can define, The Mirror is satisfyingly brutal and innocent in so many ways.

First viewing and suitably impressed, Tarkovsky's ruimination on childhood, wartime and Russia's legacy (up to that time) is a fascinating and enthralling experience which bodes for repeated viewings. Quite taken with the dreamlike quality flirting in and out of the past, in and out of colour and black and white with tinges of magic realism and genre conventions. Also quite blown away by the performance of Terekhova

I give up. This is a great film, especially in its storytelling - like Resnais, but without a narrative or clear theme, just memories for us to ponder.

This is one of those films you don't (need to) fully understand. Its mere beauty makes it running up and down in your head.

a beautiful, beautiful film. the stream of consciousness style magnificently captures the rich emotion of Tarkovsky's memories, better than anything conventional could ever come close to.
