Past Lives (2023)
Not for me
20 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Directed by: Celine Song Written by: Celine Song

SUMMARY

A slow, slice-of-life observational piece about a Korean boy and girl who are separated after the girl moves to the United States. Years later, as adults the boy comes to visit the girl, but she's married. It ends anti-climatically with them just parting.

RATING

B

These types of films are just not for my taste. While I love the theme - of love and time being cyclical - I feel the style is just not something for me. It is overly talky and "lifey" with characters just talking about deep, heavy emotional topics out of nowhere, in a way that isn't really true to life. While I appreciate the film's anti-climatic ending, to me it didn't accomplish what it wanted to do.
