YMMV / Past Lives

• Award Snub: Many cried foul when the film only received two nominations at the Academy Awards, while receiving nothing for its acting.
• Memetic Mutation: "Are Celine Song and Justin Kuritzkes looking for a third? / Who's the person that tried to ruin their marriage?" took off after Challengers (2024). ^Explanation Song wrote and directed Past Lives, while Kuritzkes wrote Challengers (2024), which has broad similarities as both are about a mixed-race married couple whose lives are interrupted by a man from the past.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Arthur clearly has a hard time with Nora and Hae Sung's conversation at the bar. It's mentioned that his Korean is not very good, but it's entirely possible that he knows what they're saying.
  • Nora crying in Arthur's arms after walking Hae Sung to his Uber, at the film's end.
