Well this was a plot that I haven’t seen before or at least from what I can remember. If you’re going through a hard time or maybe you’re not liking the hand you’ve been dealt right now then I think this may be a movie for you. It has its highs and lows throughout the movie but in the end just shows that every story can turn itself around with a little grit and perseverance. You can still achieve your goals even if it takes a little longer than others. Give it a watch, it’s heart warming and sure may be corny at times but it’s a great flick.

Poignant. A beautiful story about choices in life. This film is for the person who has ever wondered "what would my life have been if I had done something different instead". Expect some hard questions asked but with powerful answers provides. Definitely a film meant for someone who feels deeply or has been through some tough choices in life. Others might not grasp the heart in this film.

The story isn't engaging at all, the acting was terrible and was a pretty predictable end. Wasn't worth.

There aren't any surprises... it's a comfortable story.

Chicago Reader

Wanuri Kahiu’s Look Both Ways in other contexts might simply be a fairly inoffensive feel-good romance riff. As it is, though, the film’s lack of courage is painful and unforgivable.

It manages to tackle real-life issues in an approachable and safe way with a smart and lighthearted conclusion.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Look Both Ways tries to cover five years in two separate timelines in less than two hours, but isn’t interested in the minutiae that really make up life. Instead, it’s broad strokes that barely amount to anything of substance.

Digital Mafia Talkies

Look Both Ways works as a rom-com because you get to lose yourself in a world filled with conventionally attractive people going about their lives.

Rated: 4/5
