Summary — A movie about the lives we don't get to live. Celine Song's debut is the most honest film about love I've seen in years.
Past Lives is the kind of movie that makes you sit through the credits because you're not ready to be a person again. There's no villain, no betrayal, no big climactic argument — just three good people in an impossible situation, being kind to each other.
Greta Lee's performance is a master class in restraint. She acts entirely with her eyes for half the movie. The bar scene at the end is one of the great endings of the decade — a conversation in two languages where the silences carry more weight than the words.
Five stars. The kind of movie that makes you text someone you haven't talked to in years.
