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.
