[Sephi] projects a formidable sense of determination... [Nana's] stinging barbs and memorable put-downs make poetry out of something as mundane as sibling rivalry.
June 22, 2017
Rieger and Tagar capture the intimacy and competitive sniping of siblings, and they're each stunning in opposite roles.
June 22, 2017
To Nesher's credit, "Past Life" never feels exploitative - a chief danger in mining the Holocaust for drama. But it also never fully coheres.
June 02, 2017
A sober-minded Israeli film about sibling rivalry, secrets from the past, and the quest to express oneself creatively.
June 15, 2017
Nesher has adapted a real-life memoir - Baruch Milch's "Can Heaven Be Void?" - into an overly contrived dramatic scenario. It's also something of a tease.
August 29, 2017
As Sephi and Nana, actresses Joy Rieger and Nelly Tagar present their characters' contrasting personalities beautifully, sparring like real sisters. A fine supporting cast adds texture as does Yishai Steckler's soundtrack.

The drama seems overwrought at times, even cliché ...
June 16, 2017
A compelling character drama that doesn't need the gimmicks and tricks of a thriller to keep the audience invested.
June 08, 2017
Overstuffed and occasionally overwrought, the film is engrossing nonetheless, with a satisfying pace as Nesher juggles the numerous narrative elements.
June 12, 2017
Muted, not wholly satisfying ghosts-of-the-Holocaust-live-on mystery that benefits from having a fresh direction to approach it from.
July 13, 2017
While so many films have examined the war and the Holocaust that took such an egregious toll on the Jewish community, Past Life looks at it from a novel perspective, examining the possible "crimes" committed by a survivor.
June 02, 2017
A striking and thought-provoking picture.
