From Amazon.co.uk

This visually stunning film is the product of a collaboration of award-winning graphic novelist Neil Gaiman (creator of the much-lauded Sandman series), his frequent collaborator Dave McKean (Cages), and The Jim Henson Company, themselves no strangers to elaborate fantasies such as The Dark Crystal. and Labyrinth. As with the latter film, MirrorMask focuses on a young woman unhappy with her daily existence; here, the artistically inclined Helena (Stephanie Leonides), is at odds with her circus performer parents. When a careless insult appears to send her mother (Gina McKee) into a coma, Helena withdraws into the dark and elaborate world of her drawings, in which a scenario very similar to her predicament in the real world is unfolding. Gaiman and director McKean create arresting images to populate Helena's world, and the Henson Company brings them vividly to life with CGI; though the story is occasionally murky, the fantasy elements are imaginative enough to enthral what will undoubtedly be the film's toughest customers--younger viewers. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreamlike, surreal, amazing, unique.... 25 Nov 2008
By M. Evans
Format:DVD
...are probably the words that could best describe Mirrormask. It's an astonishing looking film, probably a little too bizarre for some people but if you like anything that's a bit strange, unusual and fantastical than you should find plenty to like here. The visuals are amazing, and the film achieves the rare feat of capturing the look and feel of a particularly strange dream you might have had. It's perhaps a little slow in places and the storyline might be a bit too simplistic, but it's the atmosphere and look of the film that is it's main strength and I can honestly say I've not seen another film that even remotley resembles Mirrormask - it's unique and unique films are a rarity to be treasured. Highly recommended, but it's a film that viewers will either love or hate. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mirrormask 18 April 2012
By R. J. Chippendale
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of those films you come across only now and again.
It is surreal, fascinating, indulgent and wonderful to watch.
Neil Gaiman has put his 'comic creating' ability and talent into this film and the very talented director Dave McKean has transformed the script into a wonderful journey of exploration.
At first it appears a bit wierd, but as the film goes along it really does make sense.
It is basicaly CGI, but one of the best you will see.
I would have liked to have viewed it at the cinema to get its full sensual affect.
Stepane Leonidas and Gina McKee are superb, infact all the actors add their own talents to this film. It is a well picked and placed cast.
This is a film buff collectors must have.
Buy the film and enjoy the journey.RJC.

4.0 out of 5 stars surreal 16 Sep 2006
By Ms. E. K. Groom
Format:DVD
Quirky and innovative dialogue--I would not label this as a film for children--not that children wouldn't enjoy it--but this a film written for those with a love or quirk and surrealism. Q. T film fans will eat this up, the film starts out fairly labyrinth ish--but then switches to Being John Malkovich ish towards the end--best way to describe it really.

The film is about young British girl Helena, a wonderful artist trapped at her family's off the wall circus that they run. She wants to 'run away to real life' which happens sooner then she expects as her mother is rushed to hospital and she is sent to stay with her nan in the grey streets of Brighton. However, againts her own will she is whisked to a strange surreal and dali-ish world where Spinx's stroll the streets looking for books, the queen of light lays sleeping in her temple and people wear masks to hdie their faces.

When I first watched it--I was drawn in by the quirky dialogue--don't let the the films 'surreal' aspects put you off--your be wanting to watch it again--the more you watch it the more you find.
