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.

I hated it. Annoying characters. Unrealistic dialogue. Poor acting. This doesn’t deserve to be nominated as best picture not to mention a Nickelodeon kids choice award. 3/10 muhs

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.

Watched this for film studies and I thought it was really neat :) idk if I’d rewatch it but!!

Although not much happened, the simplicity of it adds to its charm I feel. The slow pace is respectful to the story. Beautifully shot, the dialogue had its moments of beauty too. With a better build up, this would’ve crushed me.

A beautiful film—deeply human and likely true. Honestly, I felt more sorry for the American husband than for them. The poor man is caught in a love triangle that doesn’t even belong to him. Still, it touches your heart like a hug and a gentle reminder of what love is capable of.
