Netflix will add a 2024 Best Picture nominee to the service on February 15th.Past Livesis a incredible romantic drama that you have to watch this Valentine’s weekend.

It often feels like with movies these days, unless you’re saving the galaxy, stopping an ultimate evil or are a plastic doll (hiBarbie!) you won’t get any attention. Having said that, theOscarsthis year have seen fit to bestow a massive honour on a refreshingly personal film. The semi-autobiographicalPast Livesis up for Best Picture no less.

You won’t find any existential threats here, but the stakes are just as high. We’re talking about love, and it’s coming toNetflixthis week. While it won’t be arriving until the day after Valentine’s Day (the 15th), this is a great option for a Valentine’s weekend night in.

What could have been a classicrom-comsetup is treated with much more tenderness. Yes, there are some laughs in this story, but romantic drama is a more appropriate label. There’s absolutely no shame in shedding a few tears. It reminds me of another superb movie,Lost in Translation,showinga more nuanced love story than sweeping gestures and cliches. Similarly for Hae Sung, Nora is the only slice of home in a city he has never visited before, much like Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson cling to each other in that movie.

But don’t take my word for it, with a Best Picture nomination and 96% onRotten Tomatoeseveryone can see this film’s quality, and it’s worth snuggling up in front of theTVwith this Valentine’s weekend.
