Review by: Peter Travers - ABC News
If you don't wipe away a tear at the end, get your vitals checked. "Past Lives," the finest film this year by a first-time director, will take a piece out of you.

Past Lives' depictions of loneliness are so acute that it ceases to matter which versions of ourselves we move on from, only that there have been people to share them with. To be known at all is a privilege.
