At only 38 years old and with only two full-length movies, Michael Noer gives a try to a complicated theme with an impressive maturity. Under the eye of the Danish director, the old age and the illness seem to look like a new woman. We rediscover the foolishness and the pleasures inherent to teenage years thanks to a very convincing duet of actors. The movie goes further comparing two ethic : a traditional one (the one of Lily's daughter) and Lily's who does not care about traditions and relies more on happiness instead of moral codes. Noer gives also a very optimistic view on illness and gets rid of this perpetual cliché of the retirement house, a place where old people are supposedly not happy. In the end, Key House Mirror, despite its classic structure, offers an outcome, a story and characters that definitely buck the trend of the stereotypical image we can have from such an environment and slice of life. With Key House Mirror, Michael Noer rises above the themes of its two previous movies and offers an emotional roller-coaster : a bit funny, a bit sad but always moving.
