I don't think I'm going to convince you Mirror is one of the best films ever made, since I already tried in the comments section on Letterboxd. Here's our conversation from there (I believe it's worth citing here, but if for some reason you don't want it here, shoot me a PM):
Here's some more I have to say about this beloved film of mine:
It's one of the very few masterpieces that try to embrace the whole beauty of our world and succeed. This is pure cinema. Nutrition for the soul, a feast for the eyes.
Lacking scientific attempts at explaining the world, Man, or life, ignoring mathematical theorems is Mirror, Tarkovsky's magnum opus, a purely metaphysical piece of Art.
A movie that creates its own visual language, because Tarkovsky understands that words are not able to express everything. A movie as personal as it is universal, Mirror is poetry painted with light.
Just like some MoFo once said: "Mirror is f*cking metal". Just like Chris Marker said: "the naive American contemplates the sky; the Russian, or at least that Russian [Tarkovsky], settles in the sky, and contemplates the earth.".
If you're still not convinced, then simply take it as an axiom, and know I don't love you anymore!
