“At its core, this film is about healing.” Strand Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for an indie drama titled I’ll Be Your Mirror, made by the indie filmmaker Bradley Rust Gray. This initially premiered back in 2022 at the Sundance Film Festival, but it has been stuck in release limbo for the past few years. Now it’s finally opening this summer. Chloe (starring Carla Juri) travels to Japan for work where she is welcomed by an old friend, Toshi. Sliding between the melancholy of loss of her husband and the awe of perspectives changed, she wanders an unfamiliar landscape. I’ll Be Your Mirror explores grief and the road to emotional recovery. With a fresh rhythm, and unforgettably rich performances, this subtle study captures the vibrancy of healing. Also starring Takashi Ueno, Issey Ogata, Gustaf Skarsgärd, and Sachiko Ohshima. At Sundance it won a Special Jury Award for “Uncompromising Artistic Vision”, but received mostly mixed-to-negative reviews. This reminds me of Perfect Days, but it’s nowhere near as good as that film. Worth a look.

Here’s the first official trailer for Bradley Rust Gray’s film I’ll Be Your Mirror, direct from YouTube:
