Parallel World Love Story (2019) User Reviews

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 4/10 · 23 January 2020]

" Parallel world : Love Story " was a bit confusing.

My main concern was that it was difficult to distinguish which world was when, if they weren't in the appartment or work. Also, the movie didn't make it clear about the concept until halfway through, so it was confusing if you haven't read the synopsis. Also, overall, the movie lacked intensity, until the ending scenes, when the drama finally got more thrilling and dramatic. The performances were top notch too, especially from the male lead, who was amazing.

So, overall, four out of ten.

Don't waste your precious time.

I just want to say that i haven't seen this much worst and lame movie in years. Please don't waste your time watching it.

We Can Remember It For You Wholesale Love Story

What is your dream? What is your reality? And if your dream matches your reality, does that mean that you're delusioning? Where do you draw the line between dream and reality?

First of half of this movie could be quite confusing, since it's going back and forth between dream and reality without the protagonist knowing which is which (let alone the audience!). You blinked for a second, and you would lost the whole story. So pay attention really close in this first half.

Second half would be the love story, and the revelation of course. You could hate or love the ending, depend on your taste. But if your dream could matches your reality, then why let go of it?!

Interesting idea; well executed

Good performances, particularly by the male lead, but the supporting cast does a good job as well. While the one other reviewer here suggests it is difficult to distinguish between the two worlds being shown, I only thought that initially - I was looking for some obvious visual cue (Memento's use of B&W vs color to indicate which timeline you are viewing being an excellent example). I fairly shortly realized I was thinking about it too hard. it really is pretty easy to follow if you pay attention to which characters are in which scenes.

I think the main thing to recommend this film is the basic idea of it and the slow burn unfolding of it. I am glad the film doesn't make it immediately obvious what is going on. It creates some tension as one tries to understand the relationship between the two worlds and what causes the change in circumstances. The production itself is modest. I was somewhat reminded of the movie "Primer" in terms of a modest production that does a great job with the story.

I would love to write a couple of other comments, but I personally think a film like this is better to watch cold, so I have been deliberately vague in a couple of areas and will leave unmentioned a 2004 film which I was strongly reminded of by the end of this movie.
