I just watched Look Away yesterday. I had a similar review on the Horror board...

Look Away (2018)
Prime Video

7/10

Maria is an alienated high school student whose life gets turned upside down when she switches places with her sinister mirror image.

I feel oddly torn about my choice to watch this movie. I actually like the movie for the story it told, but I feel extremely guilty for liking it. There is a lot of nudity from the main star of the movie, India Eisley. She was mid 20s when the movie was filmed, but she appears younger than her age gives credit, and in the movie she portrays a 17 (almost 18 as dad [Jason Issacs] puts it) year old high school student. The lead actress is filmed masturbating, having sex, and appearing fully frontal nude in front of her father. It's a bit creepy if you let yourself think of it as voyeuristic of a minor, but if you can move past that, the movie itself does some decent story-telling about confrontation and taking control of your life when feeling bullied.

There are some undertones to be taken from the movie, and some assumptions that might need to be made by the audience. The movie is very dramatic, far more than it is horror, and it feels like an art house type movie, something you might see at Sundance or Tribeca. It seems like the type of movie that would be very divisive amongst viewers. If implied nudity of a minor is a turn-off, definitely avoid this, otherwise, you might enjoy it.
