The movie storyline is ok, but the acting is very por, the story isn't clear in my opinion the best actor is the mother, the filming the acting and the music really spoil it, I don't recommend it it's really bad

Great story but poor acting
Awful and terrible film,
It's the worst film I've ever seen, the acting is so hammy, so crap and just awful, I wouldn't watch it again, I loved the clothes, the music, I've seen much better films than this.
A great children movie
I think the Mirror Boy is a great children movie, simple in spirit, yet powerful, effective and well performed. It may seem almost nothing takes place in the adventure, but the spiritual concepts developed throughout are interesting and deep. It's truly a journey of initiation into the culture of the ancestors.
The soundtrack is awesome, varied and rich, quite appealing and also bridging tradition and contemporary concepts! For me the best performance is from Osita Iheme as the Mirror Boy.
This was my introduction to Nollywood cinema and I loved it. Will be looking for more Nigerian movies.
