PastLives Review: Celine Song's Debut Is Soulful, Tender, Devastating [Sundance] Sundance2023

Writer-director Celine Song’s feature debut, Past Lives, is absolutely stunning. The film's story is simple, but there is so much beauty in its layers, its performances, and the heart-wrenching and deeply moving connection between its lead characters. Past Lives is incredibly emotional; it touches on how the passage of time, distance, and different lifestyles cannot break a powerful bond, though it can affect the nature of the relationship.

Song brilliantly crafts a poignant story that will pull at the heartstrings. The film could have easily become overly sappy, but Song’s directing is restrained but effervescent, bold yet soft. The story ebbs and flows like a sweet melody, one that is full of longing and untapped potential for its characters. Past Lives is meditative, bringing the audience along for Nora and Hae Sung’s journey, allowing time to contemplate what they’re seeing.
