It is a marvelously promising first film, and Australia continues to amaze us with its steady procession of deliciously appealing young actresses. What is going on in that outback anyhow?

Top CriticThough Watt's emphasis on coincidence and fate seems strained at times, Look Both Ways is rich in dreamy summer atmosphere and deadpan wit.
05/11/06
an impressive, intelligent and moving tragicomedy of manners - any way you look at it.

... devolves into uncomfortable self-parody.
04/28/06
It's the type of film in which a character sits next to his work acquaintance for a few moments, then asks, 'Do you believe in God?'
07/08/06
A remarkably dense and powerful picture of people's yearning and struggling. . . . about how 'things just happen'%u2014that's the sadness and beauty of life.
08/20/07
The bottom line is that none of this goes anywhere beyond a droning funeral procession.

Top CriticIt's a movie about death that makes you feel better about life and gives you a few laughs along the way.

While [director Sarah] Watt begins to offer an interesting study in paranoia, tinged with some good comic moments, her multi-stranded plot and last-minute recourse to romance ultimately lost the interest of this viewer.

...engaging yet thoroughly innocuous...
09/24/05
Close to being viewed like a Hallmark sympathy card.
06/04/06
Notwithstanding several awards back home plus two abroad, 'Look Both Ways' does not bring together its disparate elements.
04/06/06
This, is a really morbid film. Death and destruction are everywhere. Just the setting for a romantic comedy, Which I guess, is what this is.
04/13/06
Has a shambling charm that overcomes a tendency to narrative cuteness and fragmentation.
06/11/06
An imaginatively realized and well-acted Australian film about death, dying and grief.
03/19/06
Filled with aloof and confused characters just treading water, and even if they are likable, it eventually becomes tiresome. It's like one big pity party.
