Minds of Glass (2011) User Reviews

Good Watch

[laurenlamarr · 8 February 2012]

I thought this was a good watch. There are some lovely shots of the north of Scotland, especially during the opening titles which establish the location nicely. Strong performances by the two leads, especially nearing the end of the film. Keeps you interested until the end with some good action building throughout.

Some of my favourite moments included Dr Wells (Bill Murdoch), the voice of reason within the story.

Bonnie the dog was lovely and was involved in one of the most intense sequences.

The music is fantastic throughout and really helps the mystery.

Independent psychological mystery

[calumcormack · 8/10 · 21 February 2012]

This psychological thriller had me gripped from beginning to end.

The film is finely shot and well written by director Ryan Hendrick.

Chris Somerville as Dylan and Natalie Clark as Sophie give strong performances throughout and there is also a wonderful appearance from Bill Murdoch as Dylan's friend Wells.

The bonus of a good score added to the wonderful locations gives the film a tranquil yet sinister edge.

Although not as fast paced as you might expect the film's sometimes gentle flow adds greatly to its menacing appeal.

If you like good mystery thrillers and high-quality independent films, I thoroughly recommend you try 'Minds of Glass'.

A lo budget thriller that will keep you hooked until the end

[neil-meffan · 7/10 · 10 February 2012]

I enjoyed the film a lot and it's a great example of ambition overcoming money as the story is very well told despite it's micro budget.

It's by no means perfect but when it's over you won't be disappointed you watched.

There are some truly beautiful shots in the film that show off the locations brilliantly and the score is wonderful throughout.

The performances of both lead actors are strong and alongside Bill Murdoch they bring the story to life very well.

If you enjoy a good thriller and can handle (or even prefer) the lack of Hollywood sheen then you should definitely give this a go.
