    Just my thoughts
    "Parallel" makes creative use of its low budget to two a compelling story. Two locations and three actors feel mamy worlds bigger without blockbuster special effects. It's a slow start but but it picks up into an interesting storyline, and powerful performances by the talented cast. The concept of parallel universes is explored in a unique and thought-provoking way, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats as they try to unravel the mysteries presented on screen.

    The direction and cinematography of "Parallel" are top-notch, telling a lot with a little

    What truly sets "Parallel" apart is its strong character development and emotional depth. The protagonists are multi-dimensional and relatable, making their journey through the parallel universes all the more.

    Great Little Indy Sci-Fi Movie with a Fantastic Theme
    I feel bad for some of the folk on here who "missed" the movie, which is a great little indy scifi movie starring just 3 people in a variety of roles.

    Our protaganist finds a portal in the woods near her family estate that leads to various multiverses and a struggle to get back home to her own.

    The acting of each of these three as they portray their dopplegangers is very well done, as you can physically tell the difference between certain ones by demeanor and conversation.

    The theme of this movie is grief. Our protaganist and her husband are sufferring a horrible loss, and this movie does a great job not just displaying dopplegangers as various stages of grief, but also landing its ending which, is so subtle, i felt was lost on many.

    This movie does not have a happy ending. As the divorced husband says, every reality the son dies. Not dealing with trauma and grief properly could very well force you to relive it all over again, which she is going to do as her son has just not yet died.

    I first thought the movie copped out by reviving the son. As the credits rolled I realized what the true ending was as the excellent writing of this movie layed so many clues for what this ending is. The son dies in every reality. Sometimes time is off in realities.
