Achara is so damn right. Kristen hasnt watched enough movies to know that sad and heartbreaking endings can also be an ending to a movie. Not everything has to be a fairy tale one.

Achara clearly has way more knowledge and maturity when it comes to films. I’d rather just watch reactions with just her if I’m honest

Kristen was NOT the guest to watch this movie with💀 I hate it got ruined for Achara somewhat

Kristen kept on talking at the most crucial moment of the movie . I was like duh!! Stfu Sister

The comments are wild 😂 but they are true. Different types of movies for different audiences, and Kristen likely wasn't the best viewing partner for this film. Really took a look out of the scenes. But hopefully this encourages Kristen to expand her views on different types of films.

You have to have a certain level of emotional intelligence and maturity to appreciate and understand this film, to see beauty in such a poetic yet realistic portrayal of "its complicated". But what makes this film so good is also what can make it a bit inaccessible to the masses. Kristen is a good example of some of the audience out there, who just don't get it, and that's fine. For them, there's always Transformer 10 or Fast and Furious 20. It's just such a bummer that they are so uncomfortable with allowing these emotions to fester that they gotta ruin great moments in the movie for others like Achara.

This is a movie reflecting life. She wasnt gonna leave what she'd built and invested in or desert a husband who she spent her life with. She wasnt gonna become a playwright in Korea nor he an engineer in the US. There are no bad guys to make it easy for you. She had to say goodbye to those possibilities, her childhood. Other movies offer escape. This is not that

sorry to say but Kristen was definitely not the one to watch this movie with lol.

It's so clear that some of the commenters here have never been in real, adult relationships before loool. Some goober commenting that Greta Lee's character was "cheating" on her husband. What? Also has Kristen never seen a real movie before? They don't need to give you some clear-cut resolution and long-winded explanation at the end. She asked "Do they stay in contact?". That's not the part of the story we need to see. Smh.

It was so sad to me that you guys were saying Nora shouldn't have admitted all of her complicated feelings to her husband! For me, I wouldn't want to be married unless it could be with someone who I could feel safe enough to say absolutely anything to without worrying that they would flip out or leave me or whatever. That kind of absolute security is so precious and feels like something everyone should aspire to, no?

I’m sorry but Kristen was the wrong person to react with this movie. Half of the times she’s too loud and laughing through sensitive scenes and literally not even looking at the screen. Achara was so serious looking at the movie and Kristen is just laughing her ass how going on tangents and challenging the movie instead of experience it. You don’t need to see the extension of the story, time jumping another 20 years and showing the leads kids? That’s unnecessary to this story of the 3 leads.

Kristen sucked the magic right out of it lol of course it's awkward and it's not practical but it's honest coming from 2 completely different backgrounds. It's not the same kind of love at all but there is love there regardless of what arrangements you have in the current moment.

Kristen is getting COOKED in the comments😂😂😂

This is not a romantic movie- this about people having to let go- one of the best drama in 2023

I had the opportunity to watch this film in the cinema upon its release earlier this year and have subsequently rewatched it quite a few times and seen many interviews of the director and writer Celine Song. This film is a story about closures and goodbyes. It is a story of the multiple lives that immigrants live, how they have a life now and a life they left behind with possibilities and what ifs; scenarios that may have played out differently had they stayed back in their country of origin. Nora has a new life in the US with her husband and has become a Korean American, but she tells Hae Sung that the little girl he knew as Na Young does not exist here in America. Nora left her behind in Korea. However, Nora never had closure with that past life of hers and breaks down at the end after Hae Sung leaves almost grieving in closure for that little girl and that past life. She says goodbye twice, once when she first leaves Korea and then again at the end as a final closure on that part of her life. This film is far deeper than ideas of infidelity or unresolved love. This film as the title suggests delves into the multiple lives that one can live in a lifetime and how we sometimes need to grieve the loss of a past life. This film particularly hit me hard as I am an immigrant who had to leave my country for personal reasons and often wonder what life would have been had I stayed back. Celine Song is addressing a more poignant theme in this film and preconceived notions of the viewers must be set aside in order to take in the idea that Past Lives is exploring.

That was one of the best endings to a movie I have seen in a long time. Loved this movie

I love this movie. I think it really reflects that life goes on for people even after these big moments. They needed closure after having so many what ifs and were able to reflect on themselves as people. Nora feels stuck between two cultures but knows she loves her husband, she just has to let her emotions out. Haesung also needed closure after having this idea of a little girl he knew a long time ago being ripped out of his life. For the husband, Nora is someone who stays. For haesung, Nora is someone who leaves. Both co-exist

Wow….. this comment section was shocking, a lot of people not getting the movie

If Kirsten ever reacts to “in the mood for love” she might explode

This film broke me. I cried. I grew up with a best friend, from kindergarten to 5th grade, then he suddenly moved out of the US b/c his mom wanted pursue her career dream. He never left my thoughts. There were 2 moments where he randomly called, but each call was disconnected after a few minutes. He came back when I was in 11th grade, but I wasn't the same. I was a figure he looked up to, but I felt I had betrayed my past self when he visited as I started smoking pot and drinking, whereas he was still the same. We are both hetero males, so I can't fathom the pain of Celine, and especially Teo Yoo's character, as they were not only just friends, but had that spark of romantic feelings for each other. Good news is that we're still friends today. He's successful as hell, and I'm mediocre, which created a divide for a period, but the divide has recently quelled. The other aspect that broke me was I know what it feels like to lose, who I thought was my soulmate, to someone else, now married. We were best friends before being in a relationship. Even after things ended, we randomly saw each other, and I mean RANDOM. I saw her at a strip club; I went b/c my friend wanted to cheer me up, she went for a co-worker's birthday party. I ran into her in a different city in the exact same bar. Then we ended up in the same elevator, and I scrounged up the courage to talk to her after I got out, and the doors shut mid sentence. I'm pathetic. Then after she was married, the last time I ever saw her...her car pulled up next to mine at a red light. My car in the right lane, her's in the left. We looked at each other briefly, then the light turned green and we both went in opposite directions. I never looked so long in my rearview mirror while driving.

i thought before watching this reaction that the comments must have been way too harsh on kristen, who i normally love. they werent lol. (well some comments were, of course, thats the internet but still).

Gawd! Kristen was an awful audience to this movie. It’s not her fault tho. It’s Jaby's fault that he thought she could be a good choice for this movie.

Kristen’s reaction is the worst reaction to a movie i’ve ever freaking seen. i feel so bad for Achara. she was being vulnerable and Kristen had to ruin that moment too.

She wasn't in love with him. She missed who she was as a 12 year old and needed to say goodbye to her 12 year old self...and she didn't know she needed to do that. 😢

Wow... comment section did not pass the vibe check. I love this movie. It's not about cheating. I suck at explaining but you guys can check out analysis by Like Stories of Old and Truest Picture because they explained it so well on what Past Lives is about.

Nunca he estado tan en desacuerdo con las conclusiones de otra persona al final de una pelicula. Me alegra y aprecio peliculas reales, fuera de los cliches de holliwood y su facil romanticismo... Esta es una de las mejores ppeliculas del 2023

Kristen is writing her own A24 Movie on the side reacting to this lol

OMG YES!!!! The part that got me wasn't even in this reaction. It was the 'one who leaves' and 'one who stays' part.

A film doesn't have to be liked by everyone just because it's sad or because you personally liked it. Every individual has their own perspective on everything in the world. You have no right to say that someone is lacking something just because their perspective doesn't align with yours. People want to see the reaction that matches their own. And these same people talk about maturity. Grow up! All in all, i'm with Kristen on this one.

Doesn't surprise me that Kirsten doesn't know any man like Arthur. Everytime whe opens her mouth it's just hundreds of red flags coming out. Any person like Arthur would never talk to someone like that.

I love this film, my fave film of this year. That last scenes broke my heart into pieces 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This movie just reminded me how beautiful Seoul is.

Holy shit I was going to give Kristen the benefit of the doubt, but she was a bit too much. Especially at the end.

I frigging love Kristen for her reaction 😂😂😂 I mean I already loved her but I love her even more now. She's proven that she actually uses her brain when watching movies and is not just some emotional cry baby who cries at any emotional scene regardless of how dumb the movie is. Those criticizing her in the comments are just emotional intellectually lethargic people who can only appreciate dumb movies. This movie is so silly and so unrealistic yet to those who like it think it's so true to life. If you used even 3% of your brain you'd have seen the movie for what it truly was.

Kirsten was a bit too comical for this type of movie. What makes this film so great is the intensity of the unspoken scenes... the melancholism at the end is what makes this a great film when all parties realize they're closing a chapter of their lives. Closure is not always happy, it's not always easy. I think Achara understood this better and as a result was able to enjoy and relate to this film much better.

this movie is amazing what is the problem with this comment section…yall have no taste.

Goodness. I would go mad if someone kept talking like that. Kristen literally wasn’t invested in the movie from the start. Two people reactors are better suited for comedies.

She didn’t get it. There was an ending.

Everything new is well-forgotten old.

Hi Kristen and Achara ... The ending was little bit of a miss .. So .. OK, before the Uber comes there was this painfully long silent stare .. where for 8 seconds they just stare directly to each other ... I'm saying at least hug, kiss ... say something ... but NOT. But it recovers for me at the end where shockingly she just painfully cries in the arms of Arthur. My first thought was that in the Bar Scene, NORA claims that she is no longer that little girl ( that cries like a cry baby ) , but at the end when she finally Cries ... then at the end ... Nora "Is" that little girl that loves Hae Sung and innocently claims " I will Marry him someday". What a great ending .. Celine Song and Greta Lee pulls out the 3 point winning basket at the end ( using little Hae Song's Basketball )

32:30 OMG JUST SHUT UP ALREADY KRISTEN- The most precious conversation of the movie ruined for Achara. I get you a different opinion but save it till the end and not ruin another person's experience please

not yall eating kristen up 💀😂

I think someones enjoyment and understanding of this movie really depends on what you bring to it. if you've ever been in a similar situation you might enjoy it but if you've never had a relationship or situation like this in your life you probably won't appreciate the ending as much.

Kristen was not right choice for this movie reaction.She was so extra. Keep chirping went she needs to keep shut. There were many scenes where it requires silence.

I loved your reaction 😊 I love sad movies, but I must say that this movie was too sad for me. One of the best movies I have been watched. Great 50 minutes of review, I'm happy that I watched you both 😊

I feel like Achara and Kristen are right here, it depends on the how much they are crossing the lines. But majority of the relationship will end up cheating. So can't trust anybody.

I'm sorry but Kristen ruined this reaction : (

Why does the girl on the right talk through the entire heartbreaking finale??

This is quite possibly one of the most obnoxious reactions I've seen to this movie (or really in general) This may not be a movie that everyone understands but there doesn't seem to be any need for Kristen to be so disrespectful while watching it 🤷

Kristen was absolutely not the right audience for this movie lmao 😂. I was annoyed at her reaction, but the good thing is she did make things lighten up for Achara 😁, like a good friend.

Great reaction!!

If you want a what Kristen wants check out the 2023 K-drama 'Call It Love'. It gives you 16 hours of feelings like this film and then has 'that ending' she wanted.

OMG OMG OMG OMG 8 loved watching this in the theatre. Such fun! Also, Bébé Nora and Bébé Hae-sung deserve a separate recognition for their lovely performance.

Watch 2018 #Indian movie - "96" ❤❤❤. Similar story & concept, but in the perspective of the male lead. Very sweet and emotional story. I'm sure u will love 96, even more than #PastLives

@kristen I wanted to like your reaction but you talked way unnecessarily during the movie especially during very important scenes..ruined this reaction video for me

Sorry to say that Kristen but you rly ruined the experience for a lot of ppl watching this reaction video. You acted so immature and detached throughout the movie that at some point I was enjoying those little moments where you didnt speak at all.

My god, I hated the way the woman in black interpreted the film, as if it were some cheap "they will cheat" story

Kristen has the American view of marriage.

The girl on the right needs to stop watching movies cause wtf was she talking about at the end 💀

I liked this movie, especially the realistic ending, but i had higher expectations idk why. I guess it’s one of those movies that hit harder after you have reached a certain age and you have more what ifs and could have been(s) and alternate life paths to wonder about.

I'm doing the watchalong via your patreon. And I gotta say, I just stopped it about 45 min in and just watched this reaction. 😅 It was such a snails pace type of drama. I get what they were going for, but I started getting antsy with all the staring and silence. I think this is the first full reaction I gave up on lol edit: the movie, not your guys' reactions 😅 just to make clear.

She wanted to get married to Arthur anyway achara is right

It waa artists retreat

WHY OH WHY DIDN'T ACHARA WATCH THIS WITH JABY INSTEAD? Those cry babies would have cried their eyes out 😂😂 We would have seen it on the thumbnail even before watching the video 😂😂 Kristen is too logical for a silly movie like this

7:16 I can’t type in Bengali. It takes forever to type 3 words. Also, it’s not a language a lot of us have experience on the keyboard.

It is like: In another moment, in another place, in another life, we be happy together. And they understand that, because is not about love, is about something else, is about connection.

i wanted Kristen to talk less. i waited but to no avail

the friend who laughs at EVERYTHING.........annoying af

React to 'Talk To Me' another A24 Classic

She is blonde, thats it

ok the blonde girl please take several seats and go watch the transformers or fast and furious

She said goodbye to the old crybaby her. Then let out the crybaby to her new husband who hadn’t known that side before.

Please react to In the mood for love...

A little better than the movie 96, 96 has very catchy and touching music and Vijay sethupathy Also make kristen react to 96 she definitely cry like a baby

I presume it's hard to find a great guy in LA, Achara

This was a beautiful movie. So well made and so many great performances.

I thought it would be much more hitting than 96 (Indian Movie), there were similarities but i cried in 96 twice.

Kristen is a CHILD.

This film destroyed me. It's awesome in a very sad way 😢

Greta's taste in movies is like being served a plate of candy. Generic, one dimensional, and in your face Achara taste in movies is like being served a plate of sushi. Appreciation for the complexity in what looks simple. Really would've loved for Achara to expand on her thoughts with this one instead of being interrupted with the "I can't believe it wasn't a happy ending" dialogue from Greta.

I absolutely loved this. It's in my top five films of this year easily.

Achara God of war 3 story reaction when ? 🥺

Kristen, you should never do a serious film again

For me 96>>>>>>Past lives

Whats happening here 🥱🥱

Where's god of war 3 reaction

Lol the women in this comment section are delusional af. There is NOTHING romantic about a guy you lost contact with 24 years ago travelling 13 hours to see you and insisting on spending time with you despite you being married. It is instead extremely creepy. This is clearly a fairytale story. No husband, no matter how good he is, would ever allow his wife to spend a day with her childhood crush that the husband doesn't even know and has never met.

Where is god of war 3 reaction???😢

It’s ’Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ meets ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ meets ‘Hum Tum’. It did feel very familiar BUT yet it’s an entity of its own especially with the opening moment.

I cried at the ending 😢

One of my favorite movies but the reaction of the girl on the right annoyed me, like an NPC with no introspection or emotional depth. No offense

God. I hated every moment of her speaking.

god of war 3 cutscenes

More reactions with Steph please. Achara and steph - the best combo.

5:58 Conscription doesn’t work for every country though.

where is god of war

Watch the Abyss special edition

Release god of 3 videos it's been 3 days and boring

The kind of film you don't talk through.

Kristen clearly hasnt seen la la land or the before trilogy
