    Charming quirky movie about death and what comes before it. Has considerably more heart and soul than what is typically found in the cinema these days. Lackadaisical episodic pacing (and all the better for it) and self-effacing stars lend an air of real life drama to this, but it is basically a gentle comedy about some rather serious themes. There are some unusual animation sequences, which are mostly humorous, and lots of sly observations about relationships and modern life. No car chases, no guns, no explosions. Generally seen as one of the best Australian movies in years.… Expand

    Watt's script is a bit overstuffed, and by the end the roiling animated sequences (drawn by Emma Kelly and inked by Watt and Clare Callinan) are wearing out their welcome. But the convincing characters and hearty examination of mortality make this fresh and oddly uplifting.

    Even when it spreads itself too thin, Look Both Ways enlarges your perception of the here-and-now--and what movies can do to transcend it.

    The best Australian film to hit local screens in more than a year. Although lacking any internationally renowned actors to win more than limited release, the film's energy and stylistic daring mark it as a true original.
