Past Lives is a simple story featuring complicated emotions. Greta Lee and Teo Yoo both make their characters so relatable and believable that every little decision they make feels like a big deal. The dialogue feels natural, too, and shows sentimental restraint. This film is also beautifully shot. The cinematography is soothing, like an old friend coming to visit. I was surprised to discover this was Celine Song's feature film debut, and that she was the writer, as well, because this seemed like the work of a seasoned filmmaker. Past Lives is worth watching for anyone who had a childhood crush.
