Past Lives (2023)
5/10
Don't listen to the hype-this film is mediocrity at best
16 July 2023
I went to see this movie with my wife based on the stellar ratings. I imagined it might be something on the idea of "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and SpringI "-a Korean film from 2003 that was profound and moving. However, this was not the case. I wanted to like it, but this film is mediocrity at best. Acting lacks dimension. Tries to be profound, but just isn't- although the plot contains an intriguing idea. Just enough tension and character development to keep the viewer barely engaged. This film is a solid 5 out of 10.

I am starting to doubt the veracity of online reviews as this hyping of mediocre films is happening more where it didn't use to be so blatant. Are these rave reviews generated by AI? Something is not right here.
