Review of Look Both Ways (2022) by Mauro_Lanari — 02 Sep 2022
(Mauro Lanari).
"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans," Lennon sang in "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)," a quote from Allen Saunders' 1957 phrase and, most importantly, a track released on November 17, 1980, three weeks before Mark David Chapman shot and killed him on December 8. To analyze the teen movie directed by the Kenyan Kahiu it is not necessary to disturb Howitt ("Sliding Doors" 1998) and even less Kieślowski ("Blind Chance" 1981/'87); it is also irrelevant to allude to the butterfly effect. It is a reassuring film about two students in their last year of college (and not high school) who still use the condom as a contraceptive and not the safer pill, since they come from wealthy families able to manage any consequence of their reckless decisions. That same kind of families who are Netflix subscriber customers. Finally, lesbian scenes appear only for the sake of it.
