Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Parallel (2024)

Vanessa and Alex are spending some time with his brother while they are still grieving the loss of their son. They're staying in a house that used to belong to the men's father, deep in the woods. When out for a walk on her own, Vanessa dodges a literal bullet, fired by someone who looks exactly like her.

The plot of "stumbling around parallel universes trying to get back to the one I know" is not new (e.g. Coherence) so, if you're gonna do it, you should do something special with it. This movie doesn't do anything special and the characters are neither relatable nor likable. I just don't see any reason to have made this.
