Comments | Glass is a psychological thriller containing complex and mature themes that explore super humans modelled much like those in the comic strips living amongst humans in real life; inquiring this phenomenon as a manifestation of a mental disorder; a conspiracy to suppress information; and the pursuit to finding one’s purpose and calling. The themes are treated with a sustained, strong impact sense of menace, suspense and threat that may be disturbing or upsetting to children under 16 who may not be cognitively developed, or suffer psychological harm as they may not be able to contextualize the fictional nature of the film. |

What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Shingai Darangwa A superhero that's unlike any other. | 10 | |
Die Burger Mariana Malan Riller-trilogie netjies afgesluit in 'Glass'. | 15 | |
24.com Gabi Zietsman Glass is a film where you should ignore what the critics are saying and just go enjoy yourself. It isn’t faultless, but it tells a more positive story about the human condition than is common in such films, that we are better and more powerful than we believe, and you find yourself almost forgiving the actions of the villain. | 15 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Glass displays a few glimmers of M. Night Shyamalan at his twisty world-building best, but ultimately disappoints as the conclusion to the writer-director’s long-gestating trilogy. | 7 | |
