filmdienst
"Self-aware and stylishly staged horror thriller that wrings an exciting and original variation from its often exhausted plot. In its effective use of setting, the film excels as much as in its creative sophistication."
Blickpunkt:Film
"Excellent mystery - thriller that pulls out all the stops of the genre with great skill."
prisma
"A stellar hour in cinema format with Julia Hartmann in the leading role, which captivates until the last second."
ray filmmagazin austria - online
"A striking number of productions in this festival year revolved around maladjusted and psychologically deformed young women and girls, including Beyond the Mirror, a rare German horror film with aspirations. The dark forest, an eerie house, a schizophrenic twin sister and a hooded man who demonizes children according to an old legend: Skillfully juggles Nils Loof, the director of this film, with familiar elements and topoi of this genre."
Saarländischer Rundfunk
"Director Nils Loof and his two screenwriters Ingo Lechner and Jens Pantring prove that good genre cinema can also come from Germany with their stylish gothic horror flick Beyond the Mirror."
Saarbrücker Zeitung
"Mystery films do not have a great tradition in Germany. All the more astonishing that with Beyond the Mirror by Nils Loof there is now a horror film in the competition that then actually works. For genre-experienced probably rather horror-light, it teaches the rest of us quite skillfully the fear."
