The subject may be glum but there is something consistently pleasurable about Mouthpiece, a film that is both audacious in execution and relatable, even for those of us who don't live in women's bodies. Read full review

Best of all, they haven't sacrificed emotional impact. Mouthpiece is a deeply moving piece of work. Read full review

In revealing Cassandra’s interior life, Rozema lays bare the modern female condition in an epic battle that is by turns lacerating, soothing and heartbreaking. Read full review

There are times when this visual twist confuses rather than elucidates. However, there’s no denying the bracing, honest nature of Mouthpiece, a truly revolutionary piece of filmmaking. Read full review

It's got quite shaky camerawork, which may frustrate people and I suppose its not entirely original, plot-wise but I thought its quite good as an arty type of a film and I liked the concept (even if it isn't entirely original) - the concept of there being the 2 versions of the same person - their internal and external self portrayed on screen.

Knowing that it was based on a play it's clear to me that it would look fascinating on stage, but in a film the dynamics of dual acting stop being interesting after a while.

The thematic reading and its backstory are better than the film manages to evoke, and that's not a good thing becauseKnowing that it was based on a play it's clear to me that it would look fascinating on stage, but in a film the dynamics of dual acting stop being interesting after a while.

The thematic reading and its backstory are better than the film manages to evoke, and that's not a good thing because at the end of the day it's only that presentation that leaves an impression and everything else is lost, especially its exploration of loss.… Expand
