Our take
Awash with wistful reveries about the “what ifs” and “maybes” of life, Celine Song’s exquisite debut stars the luminous Greta Lee (Russian Doll) in a breakout lead role. As fate brings two childhood sweethearts back together, Past Lives basks in the pleasure of yearning for what could have been.
