A woman terrorized by her own reflection during foreplay is exactly the kind of premise that makes you pause—it's body-horror meets intimate comedy, refusing to land in any one genre's comfortable zone, and most programmers would probably pass on something this genuinely weird.
The mirror-as-antagonist conceit draws from a lineage of surrealist doubles work, but the execution here—trapping formal horror grammar in a 2-minute romantic preparation—asks whether the reflection gag can sustain itself as serious form.
In two minutes, the film's entire weight rests on the specific moment the reflection stops mimicking and starts antagonizing; that single tonal pivot from comedy to genuine threat is the decision that makes this work.
