Here’s everything you need to know about the mindbending ending of Look Away. Maria’s mirror image Airam begins racking up bodies and taking matters into her own hands whether Maria likes it or not. When Maria agrees, she unleashes a vengeful Lolita hellbent on death and destruction.
This girl is everything she isn’t and promises to take all her pain away if she just changes places with her. After what appears to be a stretch of bad days, Maria finds a sonogram picture of twins and begins seeing a mirror image of herself. The beginning sequence sets up that someone had twins. If you fail to meet those expectations, he’s ready with toxic advice and a scalpel. Her father is a gaslighting plastic surgeon who only seems to care about his idea of perfection. Her mother is out of touch but trying when she isn’t lost in her own problems and being heavily medicated. She is relentlessly bullied at school and finds little comfort at home. Her best friend is more a frenemy than anything, which is not what the sweet girl needs.
Poor, sweet Maria is a shy teenager whose parents vacillate between coddling and ridiculing. The surprisingly engrossing film starring Mira Sorvino, The OA’s Jason Isaac’s and India Eisley from the equally twisty Every Breath You Take, takes the familiar mouse becomes a tiger trope and layers enough family drama courtesy of effective turns from Isaacs and Sorvino and a dash of supernatural mirror play to whip up something both satisfying, empathetic, and, wildly creepy.Ģ018’s Look Away presents as your basic Carrie story without the telekinesis. If L is for the way you look at me, then in Look Away, O is for the obvious disdain you feel for me.
