Past Lives

Been waiting for this one since I saw the first trailer. The movie is beautiful, with every shot that is on screen it keeps enthralled in these relationships. And the ambient music is quite calming and helps the overall narrative. Some of the music has such a nostalgic feeling and something that was once there but isn't. Specifically "Why are you going to New York". This story awakened a fear I thought I wasn’t scared of anymore. That being losing the one you love and realizing you still have that love but only to learn she can't be your's anymore. I think this idea as beautifully exhibited through every element. But with that fear comes staying in the present to not let the "what if" become your reality because it controls you. My only qualm with the movie is that there wasn't much development as I expected. Through it all I don't think we learn as much about the three but only bits and pieces. But that didn't stop me from caring about their relationship's. Because even with that I felt melancholic seeing these events and conversations unfold.
