'Look Both Ways' Review: To Be and Not to Be (The New York Times)

This Netflix drama stages a delusion of young womanhood by tracking its heroine down forking paths: one in which she gets pregnant, and one in which she ...

That an accessible third course of action — an abortion — goes essentially ignored by both Natalie and the screenwriter, April Prosser, is a mind-boggling factor in this otherwise predictable movie. It bulldozes her down one path, and then the other. At the same time, a parallel Natalie grimly resigns herself to motherhood and moves home to raise the baby alongside her chagrined parents (Andrea Savage and Luke Wilson).

<i>Look Both Ways</i> Is a Sweet If Anticlimactic Take on the <i ... (TIME)

The Netflix romantic comedy features the actor pursuing parallel life paths in a ruminative, if not particularly dramatic, Sliding Doors-esque plot.

(In one of the movie’s most touching and unexpected scenes, her mother explains what postpartum depression is—it simply hasn’t occurred to Natalie that hormonal shifts are doing a number on her.) Before long, she settles into the groove of motherhood, and there’s no doubt that she loves her daughter. It’s also possible that anti-abortion proselytizers could seize on Look Both Ways to make the point that having the child is always the best way, the only way—but that’s not how the filmmakers present Natalie’s decision. For one thing, it’s impossible to ignore the reality that mom-Natalie gets to raise her child in a beautiful house with doting, helpful grandparents on call whenever necessary. [romantic comedy](https://time.com/5864534/unique-rom-coms/) Look Both Ways, a suggestion that no life choice is ever the wrong one—everything depends on what you do with that choice. On the way to getting that job, she meets a cute guy, Jake (David Corenswet), and after becoming friends, they embark on a tentative but promising romantic relationship. Then Natalie hits a bump in the road: Lucy informs her that her drawings are derivative, that she needs to find her own style.

How To Watch 'Look Both Ways': Where Is the Lili Reinhart Movie ... (Collider.com)

Here's how you can watch the new romantic dramedy Look Both Ways starring Lili Reinhart, Luke Wilson, and Danny Ramirez.

With the possibility of aching loneliness fast approaching, they soon realize their shared jealousy and inability to move forward and conceive a devious and sinister plan to end their partners' respective relationships - with the hopes of a last-ditch attempt to win them back. On their last evening as a couple, Claire and Aidan find themselves reminiscing and retracing the steps of their relationship which leads them to familiar and noticeable landmarks, unpredicted places which cause them to question certain things. The trailer starts with Natalie taking two pregnancy tests on the night of her graduation. Rather than seeking love out, Henry Page (Austin Abrams) focuses a large chunk of his energy on scoring good grades with the hopes of getting into a decent college and becoming the chief editor of the school newspaper. She is known for her role as Betty Cooper in Riverdale and as Annabelle in the crime comedy-drama film Hustlers. So you'll be able to watch the film from the comfort of your own home. She is popular for her role as Andrea Warren in the TV series I’m Sorry. Aisha Dee is famous for her role as Kat Edison in The Bold Type. If her test turns out to be positive, Natalie would move back to her hometown of Austin, Texas with Gabe where she would start a family. If the result of her test is negative, she is off to Los Angeles with her best friend to take a job under her idol and icon Lucy Galloway. The film follows the life of soon-to-be college graduate Natalie who reaches a defining point in her life when an intended fun hookup with a college friend leads to her taking a pregnancy test at a party. Kahiu is also the brains behind the first Kenyan film to screen at the Cannes Films Festival Rafiki.

Look Both Ways is slight, simple and surprisingly perceptive ... (Firstpost)

The new divergent-storyline rom-com on Netflix plays to the gallery, but does so with confidence and composure. Rahul Desai August 18, 2022 11:17:26 IST.

The evidentiary stage of the trial is expect to last about a month. One Natalie is stuck in a bleak live-action remake of the dreams she once had; the magic is lost in translation. The background score, for one, is excellent – it has a melancholic fluidity that reveals the montage-like rhythms of living. Follow us on [also read] [Entertainment](https://www.firstpost.com/category/entertainment) [Academy unearths long-lost 'race films' in Black cinema exhibit](https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/academy-unearths-long-lost-race-films-in-black-cinema-exhibit-11079661.html) But even when it lags for a while – especially when Natalie sets out to find her own artistic voice – it gets the basics right. His response – “you don’t think there’s merit in telling a story two different ways?” – typifies the film’s stance. In the other storyline, a relieved Natalie tests negative and goes forth with her dreams of moving to Los Angeles with her best friend, finding love on her own terms and working at a computer animation studio. In one storyline, a stricken Natalie is pregnant and decides to move back into her parents’ home to bring up her baby; her future is on hold, while the drummer-drifter father of her baby, Gabe, lends her his full support. Reinhart shines as Natalie and the two faces within her, seamlessly traversing narratives with the grace of an old-school rom-com heroine. Whether she’s struggling to develop as an artist in the big city or arguing with Gabe about babysitting in Texas, Reinhart channels the essence of a single character split into two. Fortunately, despite teasing with signs of the tortoise-and-hare syndrome, Look Both Ways makes one crucial update to the parallel-universe template – it refuses to discriminate between the different languages of young womanhood. Sliding Doors featured two divergent narratives of a woman’s life, based on whether she catches a train or misses it one morning.

"I really was a part of the film from start to finish, from finding a director to being involved in the many re-writes and the casting.
