Review of Past Lives

Past Lives (2023)
5/10
It didn't grab me like I thought it would.

I love a quiet movie, with the music creating an atmosphere that doesn't require too much dialogue - but when there is dialogue, it needs to be good. I didn't find that with Past Lives. I didn't expect anything too amazing, these are just two people living their lives, after all, but the conversations were pretty dull - I've more interesting conversations with the guy behind the counter at my local shop!

The cinematography was lacking a little too - and that is what I really thought I'd be getting with this movie. It's a shame, because Seoul and New York are amazing places, but they didn't shine here.

I was bored halfway through and skipped to the end to see the ending that I really didn't care about.
