Will you be moved by Celine Song's Past Lives?
In a world of Netflix mediocrities and moviehouse superhero swill, too many may have developed emotional calluses.
Variety doesn't help, claiming audiences will "swoon" over the director-writer's first film. Trolls are triggered, cynics go full auto-growl. You don't see lyrical or romance in print much.
Song's already been rewarded by the Director's Guild. Past Life is up for multiple Oscars next month.
A film of glimpses. Hands. Extravagant silences. Nuanced subtitles. Compelling, mysterious underscoring. Adult thought.
Lead actress Greta Lee's life will change.
To hell with Oppenheimer.
Past Lives is on the amazon prime streamer - free or rent
