"It wouldn’t be a hyperbole to call Past Lives a perfect film. Absolutely spellbinding, never has something so low-key hit me like a ton of bricks." — Ruth Maramis, FlixChatter
"Celine Song's debut feature is a beautiful and contemplative look at identity, expectation, and what could've been. Small but important nuances weave a well-rounded picture of a question we all have asked ourselves at one point, 'What would've been?'" — Dana Han-Klein, We're Watching What?!
"A gentle and tender movie about the life we leave behind when we immigrate, and how we embalm those memories in rose-colored hues, told through a relationship filled with longing." — Radheyan Simonpillai, CTV's Your Morning
