“Look Away” (** out of four) was a bizarre psychodrama about an alienated high-schooler (India Eisley) whose life is turned upside down when she suddenly switches places with her sinister mirror image who she has been communicating with which perplexes her controlling parents (Jason Isaacs and Mira Sorvino). Interesting in parts and maintains its grip due to Eisley’s sensual and entrancing performance but story gets increasingly weird and aloof and eventually will make you look away at something else. Obviously inspired by mid-period Stanley Kubrick but you could just as easily watch “The Shining” again.
