Look Both Ways: A FilmExposed Review



If you read my previous post you'd know that this review took three films to write. If you are at all intrigued...

The review starts like this:

In her first feature, award winning Australian animator Sarah Watt tackles the hefty issues of death, grief and the pain of surviving. After being delivered an uncertain prognosis for his newly diagnosed testicular cancer, photojournalist Nick (McInnes), is sent to cover the death of a man in a tragic train accident. There, Nick meets Meryl (Clarke), an artist crippled by paranoid delusions of death and destruction...

And ends like this:

... Many of the plotlines seem to wallow, undeveloped in the bleakness, and in the face of the irrevocable certainty of death the film struggles to find anything profoundly new to say. Then again, that is comfortable in itself, in a way, for it is the little hopes that we end up clinging to which can bring the biggest rewards.
