Mixing animation and live action, Look Both Ways follows the misadventures of Meryl (Clarke), a woman who sees disaster everywhere.

This film is really good at capturing states of mind (animations illustrating thoughts, music elaborating on character emotions). Also, it's a skillfully judged blend of serious (tragi-)drama and (indie-)comedy.

Cancer can impact differently over people. Humor gives a ligher drama.

I was so tired when I saw this. Not in the mood for watching a film at all, but as this progressed (it was fairly slow) I gradually got more caught in it.

Look Both Ways is an Australian tragicomedy obsessed with death. The main characters' lives are believable and the movie's head-on approach to its theme is refreshing.

Urgh, I don't know what to say about this. It's mostly above-average for an Australian film, but the abrupt cop-out ending kinda made everything seem trite and meaningless. It also falls into the common Australian trap of thinking drama means everything has to be super serious and everyone has to be melancholic and filled with ennui and staring off into the middle distance. It's not bad, and I liked it for the most part, but Watt makes a lot of mistakes I had trouble ignoring.

Middling entry in the cinema of cornball cosmic coincidence. Animated inserts by the director herself are smothered by an egregious reliance on dreary Everybody Hurts montages. Seriously there's, like, eight.
