Good concept, poorly executed.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

This is one of my favourite films, I have seen it twice. Having lived in Adelaide until I was 22 I can say it captures the city and nature of the residents in a very thoughtful and complete manner. Remarkable film in its understated style and ability to convey feeling with little effort. Is awkward at times but this tends to add to the charm, like meeting an old friend after many years. My Year Without Sex is also worth seeing, though I didn't enjoy it as much it is still a very good film. Hopefully more and more people will begin to realise that wonderful films can be made on small budgets and without resorting to masses of computer generated scenes. Maybe directors will once again trust actors to bring intelligent contributions to the film and allow them to navigate their own way through the development of a character. It seemed the actors found their own ways of playing these characters and hence they were given dimensions that are never evident in many other films.

To start I wish to say that I am currently studying this film for my English course and it pains me to sit through every minute of this train wreck of a film (pun intended)! The script is just awful, just awful, that's all i can say. There are so many awkward moments in the film that are made even worse by the terrible dialogue between the characters! In their first meeting, the two main characters prove that there are things in life worse than death. "Maybe it just meant to be, I mean you could've been one of those rapist ax murderers about to commit his first crimes.." This is not how we end a conversation and is certainly awkward enough.One aspect of the film is the characters obsessions with death Meryl frequently envisions accidents occurring around her leading to her death, including being eaten by a shark, getting strangled by a random stranger and having a train derail above her and crash onto her. Does this tell us she is suicidal? or maybe paranoid? It is never made clear which aggravated us even further! If she indeed was paranoid about her safety then surely Justine Clarke would have taken this into account in her performance. An anxious character would act timid, afraid and withdrawn, rushing from place to place to avoid any conflicts or confrontations. However in the film she just lazily walks around with an expression that would make her seem either insane or high! The serious tone of the situation, that being bad things can happen anywhere, is is turned into a laughable series of the character almost dying in hilarious ways. She must be insane.Our class was shown a short animated film by Sarah Watt before she made this film. It entailed a mother similar to Meryl in that she thought of dangerous situations around her going through her daily routine. This just proved that the film Look Both Ways was a continuation of this short film, just on a bigger scale.There were 4 copies of this film at my local video rental store (I could not bring myself to buy this) which hadn't been rented since release, and I know why. Don't see this, for the love of god go rent something more deserving like Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? or The Seventh Seal as they both deal with similar themes of death and indifference between people yet are actually capable of pulling them off flawlessly.

This was a charming,romantic film. I really liked the two lead characters,played by William McInness and Justine Clark, and could empathize with them easily.The screenwriter,Sarah Watt, did an excellent job giving us enough information about each secondary character to sustain our interest. The film is more about the choices we make during our life than about death.Even the less sympathetic characters, such as Andy, were portrayed in such a way that you could understand their emotions,even if you couldn't full sympathize with them. The cartooning and artwork added another element to the movie that kept my interest.I would recommend it to fans of independent films who like realistic characters in realistic settings presented in an unusual way.

I guess it's only a minor spoiler to give away that this is a movie about cancer, and it's just as bleak as that may indicate. As much as I may appreciate depressive, black-and-white, six-hour long films, I'm afraid I found absolutely nothing positive about this movie. I found it overly boring, pointless and predictable. A movie about cancer has to offer something more profound than entertainment, but this film fell short of making any kind of statement a 14-year-old couldn't. Most of it is visually well done, particularly a rainy scene near the end, but it couldn't save the movie from being a total disaster that I very nearly walked out on. I'm happy that other reviewers have found a lot to appreciate, but to me this was a dreadful experience. Approach with caution.
