Past Lives Reviews

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

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

Got too boring to me - was extremely long without any action, I watched it while skipping forward all the silences.

My boyfriend @eski cannot understand that i can say it was a good movie but i didn’t like it, tbh thought it was really slow and i couldn’t connect or come to care about where the characters were going, but i did like the whole theming of her leaving her past life behind

A debut that seems to carry years of expertise for a director that plays with light, movement and silence in creative and meaningful ways. The story penetrates your soul but teaches it a lesson, it does not give in to a perfect ending but rather embraces the simplicity of reality

I just cried throughout the entire movie, also my admiration for the husband because I would have lost my mind 10/10

its crazy how falling in love at 12 years old can affect your whole life

a one-time-only watch, an annoyingly long movie, her and the husband worst characters ever, PITY was the only thing that i perceived from her for Haesung, could’ve been so much better, i don’t know what i expected but certainly something different. Good cinematography tho.

A realistic portrayal of a lost relationship due to distance. This focused solely on 3 characters but skipped over the development of why certain emotions were felt/seen. Very tense throughout and allowed the audience to continuously relate to the situation but dragging/draining

‘You dream in a language I can't understand. It's like there's this whole place inside you I can't go’ Right person wrong place and time is well and truly a thing

reminded me of lalaland but with Asians ❤️ so yes I cried!

6.8/10 pa las maravillas que hablan muy sobrevalorada

Hits an emotional key that is hard to achieve in film. Beautifully shot and paced. A top ten love story after watching 30+ years of cinema. Watch it with an open heart and see what happens. Also, if you are a film bro, you are probably going to hate it. It is not Fight Club or JW

Can I ask for copyright

I fell asleep in the theater. In the parts I was awake for I thought it was well shot, but I didn’t really feel any chemistry between any of the characters and there was too much out of place silence.

Wanted to love this but something was missing for me, can’t quite put my finger on it. I enjoyed the journey and how they took a simple thought like “wrong place, wrong time” and showed how complex those feelings are.
