Watched “Past Lives” last night. Good movie. I like how they accurately depicted the different eras (90s, 2000s, and present). As an immigrant myself, I can definitely relate with some of the aspects of uprooting your life and making a new one in a foreign country and not knowing anyone. I guess I haven’t been away long enough to feel losing my cultural identity yet, but I do understand how some people may feel that way. That scene with the 3 leads together was definitely awkward lol.
Great ending as well and I like how they kept it less than 2 hours. Films like this shouldn’t be overly long. I feel like “Monster” is still a better film though and wish it was acknowledged more especially in the awards shows. I get that it wasn’t marketed to western audiences as much as Past Lives (being A24), but it definitely deserves the same amount of exposure.
Funny, I discovered it yesterday and was about to make a thread about it. Do you want to make one? Otherwise, I will later and copy paste your comment there. Seems like an interesting movie indeed, and another great A24 production.
Not sure if enough people have seen it to warrant a new thread, but I’m happy to discuss more if you post one! A24 can be hit or miss sometimes, but this one is great.
Well, I just created one (pinged you there), we'll see if other people want to discuss it. Hopefully there will be someone, even if at some point in the future.
A24 can be hit or miss
Which of their movies were you disappointed with?
