A24’s heartbreaking Past Lives was one of the best movies of 2023

A24’s heartbreaking Past Lives was one of the best movies of 2023
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a year of superhero bombast, Barbenheimer, and overlong epics from directors like Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese, A24’s Past Lives stands out as a quiet, understated triumph. The movie — which was a big winner at the Gotham Awards in recent days, and which also just picked up five Spirit Awards nominations, in addition to several Golden Globe nods — has a dreamy pace to its storytelling that recalls filmmakers like Noah Baumbach and even Wong Kar-wai. It’s about childhood crushes and lost love, and the way that immigrant experiences force a reckoning with roads not taken.

All of which is to say: In thinking through the best movies I saw this year, I keep coming back to this dreamy marvel of a directorial debut from Celine Song. Furthermore, if there’s any justice in the world, Past Lives will take home the Golden Globe next month for Best Motion Picture — though one of this year’s overlong epics from Scorsese and Christopher Nolan (Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer, respectively) is almost certain to win home that prize, instead.

At any rate, the best I can do is implore you to seek out this movie if you haven’t already. The characters at the center of Past Lives, Nora and Hae Sung, were childhood sweethearts who were wrest apart from each other after Nora’s family emigrated from South Korea. Two decades later, they reunite as adults for one week in New York City.

Streaming audiences will recognize Greta Lee, who plays Nora, from her work on series like Apple TV+’s The Morning Show and Russian Doll on Netflix. She is absolutely mesmerizing here, in a movie that draws from the Korean concept of “in-yun” — essentially, a relationship between two people within the context of destiny.

The idea is described as comparable to following a set of breadcrumbs that’s unique to you over the course of your life. And if you’re unkind or unobservant along the way, you can irrevocably destroy that search for where the breadcrumbs end. Supposedly, according to Nora, in-yun can manifest itself even in something as mundane as two people cognizant of the fact that they’ve brushed each other’s sleeve on a busy city street.

Early on in the film, Nora is a young girl choosing an English name in preparation for her family’s immigration from Korea to Canada — a relocation that, among other things, meant leaving behind the sweet young boy she walked home from school with and who’s left devastated after her departure. Nora grows up and follows her trail of breadcrumbs to New York. She becomes a playwright. Hae Sung, meanwhile, has never been able to forget her. He looks her up, connects with her online, and thanks to Skype — the two friends from the past have returned to the present. The complicating factor is that Nora already has a present of her own, in the form of her marriage to a white American man.

Nevertheless, Hae Sung coming back into her life makes clear that his deep affection for Nora endures. As a result, a will-she-or-won’t-she accompanies every moment of Nora’s time on onscreen.

Honestly, there’s nothing in Past Lives you haven’t seen before. All the same, I’ll be rooting for it to be the Best Motion Picture Golden Globe during the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 7. We need more quiet and unpretentious movies like this one, movies about ordinary people and struggles that don’t involve explosions or big-budget special effects. The line, I think, that wrecked me the most in Past Lives is when an adult Hae Sung asks Nora, about their increasingly complicated interactions: “What if this is a past life as well, and we are already something else to each other in our next life? Who do you think we are then?”

I’m not sure I can articulate what I felt by the time the credits started rolling. Past Lives left me feeling heartbroken, contemplative, and a little euphoric; it’s the kind of movie where you sit there in silence, reeling, once it’s finished working you over. Whatever in-yun has in store for Song, I hope it includes directing another gloriously satisfying feature film soon.
