Past Lives

9.2 - gorgeously shot, well acted, and even more masterfully written and constructed. But while being emotional and beautiful, it didn’t have me as completely hooked as similar stories. Likely needs some time to digest and probably a second watch to fully sink in.

An amazing story about how fate can sometimes tear apart or bring together. Song forces you to live out every gut wrenching moment between the characters, and it hurts. There is no good guy, no bad guy, and just like in real life, sometimes there’s no true happy ending.

9.5/10
A beautiful film top to bottom. It takes the idea of “right person, wrong place/time” and showcases how intricate and layered those feelings can be. The camera work alone was something to behold, especially the long take at the end that left me absolutely floored

Loved it. Cried the whole time, but smiled at the end because I understood her and the situation all too well. It IS a happy ending.

this movie was beautiful and has such a deeply relatable underlying story, i was caught by surprise bc of how innocent it starts off. i people watch all the time and i loved how complex this stranger’s story was when fleshed out. the two men truly served as totems of possibility!

Very beautiful film that captivates you with every shot. The story moves in a pace I didn’t quite expect with some scenes going by quicker and others having the time to marinate. I still thought it was really beautiful and the themes, messaging, and dialogue were written well.
