PARALLEL is another film with a single good idea behind it that gets spoilt by extremely horrible execution. For the most part it plays out as a slow-moving romance, but there's a sci-fi twist in store in the form of a parallel reality which crosses over into our own. Sadly, any interest in the theoretical aspects of the movie is negated by the long-winded nature of the narrative, the indifferent performances, the overwhelming sensation of boredom hanging over the whole thing.
