"Past Lives" - Review

Nora (Greta Lee), formerly Na Young, is a Korean woman who has a crush on a boy in her class called Hae Sung (Teo Yoo). They have a date as children and seem to hit it off. But then Nora moves to America when her parents emigrate there. Now adults, Hae Sung gets in touch with Nora and hopes to catch up, and the two of them seem to hit it off...

A devastating, emotionally mature film about longing and things never quite being as simple as they want to be. It's rich, wonderfully shot, and a fully immersive, endearing three hander (John Magaro shows up and is bloody brilliant, getting my favourite, gut wrenching, quietly devastating scenes) with electrifying chemistry not seen since Hawke and Delpy. The final shots got me crying.
Highly recommended.
