Look Both Ways- A Multiversal romance

Look Both Ways explores the multiverse theory, not the Spider-man: No Way Home way. We get to see Parallel timelines with two different results. If I had the creative control over this film, I could have made this an interactive movie, but it is excellent the way it is. It is like having two movies in one sitting. The two scenarios are two separate stories starring the same character, but she got a different fate in both stories. Once in our lives, we get to decide because of a dilemma. I remember my dad saying if he had never met my mother, he could have ended up marrying his high school sweetheart. This movie gets to show us the “What ifs” of both situations.

Look Both Ways official trailer

Natalie (Lili Reinhart) ends up having sex with her friend because of the heat of the moment at her Graduation party. This event resulted in two parallel stories because of the decision she made. I believe the decision is to use protection or not. In the first timeline, she ends up with a child. Her drunk sex caused her pregnancy with her best friend Dave (Danny Ramirez). Hailing from a conservative state like Texas, she decided to keep the baby and go home to Austin, Texas. She explained her situation to her father (Luke Wilson) and took responsibility for the baby she got from Dave. Having a baby, She and Dave might become more than just friends.

Meanwhile, in another reality, Natalie didn’t get pregnant. So she pursued her dreams of working in Hollywood. There she will meet a handsome actor (David Corenswet) and develop a romantic relationship with him as she follows her dreams in the city of the stars. Will Natalie find happiness in both scenarios as we look both ways? Look Both Ways comes to Netflix this August 17, 2022.
