Los Angeles Times - Noel Murray

Oct 11, 2018

Bernstein stages a few good, tense moments in the film’s second half — in particular a skate-chase scene on an iced-over stream — but Look Away mostly fails as a “killer teen” movie. The pace is too slow, and the mood too somber. Read full review

“In spite of having few entertaining subplots and shaping remarkably Maria’s personality throughout the movie, what is lacking cannot be solved because it collects some elements from scary movies but works as a lazy thriller”

Sometimes is weird how commercials trick our minds and make them“In spite of having few entertaining subplots and shaping remarkably Maria’s personality throughout the movie, what is lacking cannot be solved because it collects some elements from scary movies but works as a lazy thriller”

Sometimes is weird how commercials trick our minds and make them believe that the movie would end up being a scary one rather than a two-hour-nothing-surprising one. Regardless the main character’s inner-battle (which in my opinion was respectable), the movie does not innovate either the plot or the way it gives us cheap jump-scares scenes. Combine the movie “Before I Fall” and “Happy Death Day”, then take a look at the “Look Away”. It is plain to see that the movie focuses on being rebel and doing activities you never used to do. Moreover, as the movie goes on it just gets worse and worse. Apparently, movie spends 20 minutes in just showing full-naked scenes and twenty more in uncontrolled-sex scenes as well. What do you get? Nearly half of the movie being wasted in unnecessary and arguable scenes. A fun fact is the reaction you receive from the audience saying “I told you it would be inappropriate” And clearly, it was. Consequently, when talking about the main plot, the scenes presented and the bad imitation copied from previous movies, you will see that Mr. Bernstein fail to give us an exhilarating time at the cinema.

Now on, you guys might be wondering the reason why I gave the movie half the score. As previously said, half-movie was related with sex and nude scenes which made the movie a climax of discomfort. On the other hand, we had an interesting way of presenting the character (Maria) and her main issues that she had to cope with every single day. Disappointingly, it wasted a good potential because some characters were developed as well. What was missing technically, was the things said above. That’s it ! (50/100)… Expand
