Past Lives

Ever wonder what if you were to see your childhood love again? This very real rom-com will show you just that. Nora and Hua Sung grew up in Seoul, Korea together and when they were in elementary school, Nora immigrates to Canada. Thanks to the 2008 digital wave, they reconnect only to realize the timing isn’t right. Fast forward to the modern day, Nora is married and Hae Sung finally comes to visit. Prompted with all sorts of questions and emotions watch the fallout in real time. I won’t lie to you this movie is slow. It’s similar to a play with only some set, intimate and stationary. Greta Lee who plays Nora is phenomenal and leads the movie with great raw emotion. If you like the slow-burn type of movies this might be for you!

Rating: 3/5
