Includes French SDH. "A movie that liberates your tears and makes you fall in love with it. It is almost assuredly predestined to be the single best movie you see this year."--Rolling Stone "At its essence, this is a film for anyone who's ever known the ache of "the one who got away" and "what-if.""--San Francisco Chronicle "It's a rare movie that settles, quietly, into some part of your own experiences and memories without a speck of narrative contrivance gumming up your response to the story on the screen."--Chicago Tribune "Celine Song makes a quietly spectacular writing-directing debut with Past Lives, a lyrical slow burn of a film that expertly holds back wellsprings of emotion, until it unleashes a deluge."--Washington Post
