The second reality sees her life path following a negative result on the pregnancy test. She moves to LA to pursue her career ambitions and comes across a life-changing love story. But viewers were left asking themselves all along which reality actually happened in Natalie's life.
How does Netflix's Look Both Ways end?
While some fans have branded the movie "confusing", the ending is left deliberately open and for audiences to perhaps decide for themselves. It also further iterates the plot, cementing the idea that life can present many different scenarios and pathways, and that there is no right or wrong way to live one's life.

The closing credits see Natalie revisit her old college after the two realities have entwined, leaving Natalie to assure herself in the mirror that she is "okay". Lili praised the film's ending and explained it was a reason for her taking the role of Natalie: "Here's a happy ending, and there's not one life that's worse or better than the other," she said.
"We wanted people to take away from the film that you have options, and your life doesn't have to look a certain way for you to feel happy."
