Look Both Ways - a 2022 American romantic comedy drama film directed by Wanuri Kahiu and written by April Prosser. It’s a VERY similar premise to Sliding Doors… 1998… Gwenyth Paltrow if you’re familiar? This is the story of Natalie Benett played by Lili Reinhart from Riverdale. Life brings all of us, singular moments that can change the entire trajectory of our existence. This film is really a tale of one of these moments, Natalie Benett is a University Senior, has one fantastic night hooking up with her best friend Gabe played by Danny Ramirez… and then we are at a crossroads. There is one version of reality where Natalie gets pregnant after that fateful night… her and Gabe must move back to her hometown, in with her parents and PARENT this new child… another version of reality is Natalie moving off to Los Angeles to become an aspiring animator under Lucy Galloway, played by Nia Long. She also moves their with her other friend Cara played by Aisha Dee and meets love interest Jake played by David Corenswet. We see both of these parallel universes play out almost side by side over the next 5 years… with her entire life diverging at this point… how differently will her life end up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
