A New Mom’s Honest Review Of Lili Reinhart’s Netflix Movie ‘Look Both Ways’
‘Look Both Ways,’ starring Lili Reinhart, premiered on Netflix last week, and needless to say, the movie really impacted me as a new mom, so I thought I’d give my honest review of the film and why I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for something to watch this week.
To summarize the movie without giving away any major spoilers, Lili Reinhart plays Natalie Bennett, who on the night of her college graduation finds herself taking a pregnancy test. The movie jumps back and forth between two parallel realities. In one, the test is positive and she puts off her pursuit of a career in animation to navigate motherhood in her hometown of Austin, TX. She does so alongside her daughter’s father, Gabe, who was a friend she had a casual one-night stand with. The other in which she moves to LA with her best friend to pursue her dream career in animation and falls in love with a guy named Jake.
