John Serba Decider Parallel ultimately works, but just barely... keep your expectations earthbound. Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times Parallel is the multiverse movie for people who usually find them too hectic by half. Rated: 4/5 Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb Parallel is a tense and disturbing sci-fi thriller that explores the different pathways of alternate realities. What begins as a family confronting an emotional crisis takes a frightening turn into an unexpected labyrinth of consequences. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Rachel Leishman The Mary Sue While the plot of Parallel can get complicated if you think too deeply about it, the film shines in the performances that Deadwyler and Aldis and Edwin Hodge bring to this family. Rated: 4/5 Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Aundrea E Definitely better than expected. No pun intended, but I felt out of the loop. I wish there was more to the plot than just the looping. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Matthew R And everyone in that universe lived happily ever after. Dumb Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Gustavo G Since the start I disliked the main character. The dialogue and the plot are very poorly written and get tiresome. Bad acting. Beautiful photography. I was not able of finish watching it. I felt I was wasting my time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Jennifer M If you enjoy sci fi movies that focus more on concepts and stories over explosions, you'll love this. I would compare it most to Coherence, however I found the motivations for these characters was more relatable, This movie definitely deserves more eyes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review M J Interesting concept, the writing and directing felt off with no rhythm, 20 minutes in and you finally get a glimmer of hope with a cool scene but you still aren't emotionally intrigued or connected with any of the characters. The preview/trailer looked great but the execution of the film lacked. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Garland S I loved it! Well placed intelligent and thought provoking. A minimalist movie that provided a maximum punch. The plot is easy to follow as multiverse space plains is presented early on. Then from there on the "3- card monty" game of trying to keep up and figure out which version of the character: Alex, Vanessa or Martel they are begins. The acting is superb., as you watch only three people hold down what plays like a big budget major motion picture. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
