Reviews
“Impressive and relentless” – Los Angeles Times
“The term “sex worker” didn’t really exist in 1984 when Dutch auteur Marleen Gorris’ Broken Mirrors (Gebroken spiegels) was released, but these women are definitely working. With sex.” – Zeke Film
“Broken Mirrors belongs in academic and public libraries with other films by Marleen Gorris, like A Question of Silence and The Last Island, all of which have been restored by Cult Epics. The three would fit in international and feminist film collections.” – Videolibrarian
“Broken Mirrors is certainly a film that starts a conversation that has yet to be continued in virtually every part of the world, and is more than compelling — it is absolutely essential. Recommended.” – Celluloidconsomme
“Visually, the movie looks dynamic (probably better than it did when it actually played in cinemas). For anyone curious about this title, the new Cult Epics Blu-ray is well worth picking up.” – Cinamestance
“Broken Mirrors is ment for the art house and not the grindhouse.”- Insidepulse
“Powerful sex-positive dramatic thriller “Broken Mirrors” gets the 4K HD restoration enhancement via Cult Epics.”- Elements of Madness
“Feminism Fights EVIL The Only Way Possible in “Broken Mirrors” Reviewed – It’s Bloggin Evil!
“Highly Recommended” – Mcbastards Mausoleum
