Watch this movie if you want a good cry 🎥😭

I watched Past Lives (Directed by Celine Song) this weekend, and it made me cry a bit (an understatement) 😭. This is not your typical romance/drama movie; it’s about the 'what-ifs,' 'what could have beens,' and everything in between.

It’s about two childhood sweethearts who reconnected years later after the girl immigrated to another country in pursuit of making it big, while the boy was left behind and continued on his own path. Things happened in between, which made them lose contact with each other before reconnecting again and meeting up face to face after more than half of their lives had passed. The girl got married to another man, and the boy was in a grey area with another girl. However, their instant connection and spark were reignited the moment they met again. 🌟

It has a very bittersweet ending, which might hit too close to home if you've experienced something similar (kind of a 'right person, wrong time' situation). 😭 But I have to say you might find it a bit confusing if you haven’t (my friend was puzzled by the ending 💀)

Highly recommend watching this movie at least once! The grainy and retro aesthetics were what caught my attention, but the plot drew me in even more; the movie has a very light but deep storytelling. Don’t get me started on the soundtrack 😩😭✋🏽 10/10 FR
