If Past Lives hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: friendship

One thread runs through both: friendship

Both land stillness and romance at once
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 2000s show

Common ground: interracial marriage
The difference: Easier on the wistfulness than Past Lives

The same city underneath both: New York City

The same mix in both: tenderness, then warmth
The difference: Leans harder into animation than Past Lives does


Romance with a pulse of stillness, in both cases


Romance built on tenderness, twice over
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both keep coming back to the same thing: nostalgia

Both lean on wistfulness more than on drama
In the mood for more contemplative?
