I’m happy to say that it does not disappoint -- it may be a slow-burner with no easy answers, but that’s one of its many strengths.

Celine Song's debut film is a powerful metaphor for the two selves that exist within immigrants.

In this extraordinary Academy Award-nominated film “Past Lives,” the Korean concept of inyeon is used to lead viewers into believing that Nora and Hae-sung are destined to be together – if not in this lifetime, then in the future.

A first love is a precious thing. And despite the inherent irrationality, it can be hard to let go of the golden sheen that covers a fond memory. But that is precisely what Song guides her characters to achieve in her film.
