Full Plot Details

The year is 1977, and no female has ever been a renowned classical music composer. Sephi Milch, a very determined and talented young woman, aspires to a career as a classical composer, but she knows the odds are against her. In spite of this, she is dead set on changing the course of history and succeeding in the male-dominated classical music world. Her struggle with the burden of history is not only limited to her artistic life - as the daughter of troubled Holocaust survivors, she also has to deal with a sudden revelation from the past that threatens to tear her family apart. Nana Milch - Sephi's older sister and bitter rival, a scandal sheet journalist and an aspiring playwright - considers this startling revelation an opportunity to free herself from the stranglehold of her parents' past. Sephi is weary of her sister's tendency to look for trouble, but in this case she has no choice but to join Nana's quest for the truth. 1977 is the year Egyptian president Sadat decided to break the shackles of history and bravely embark on a peace process. In many ways this is exactly what the two sisters need to do, as they travel throughout Europe, bent on uncovering the past and getting to the truth behind their parents' darkest secret. As the two are inevitably drawn into an emotional roller coaster ride, they discover that freedom bears an exacting price, as does the struggle to liberate one's unique artistic voice.

Movie Reviews

The Film Stage - 9/10 by Jared MobarakPast Life gets us thinking about so many possible scenarios only to supply an optimism that seemed incongruous to the pessimistic journey.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Oktay Ege KozakThe strong performances ... and Nesher's dedication to the story's themes turn Past Life into a drama that might not be stellar, but is at least worth your time.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA sober-minded Israeli film about sibling rivalry, secrets from the past, and the quest to express oneself creatively.
SF Weekly - 8/10 by Jeffrey Edalatpour[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.
Movie Nation - 8/10 by Roger MoorePast Life is best appreciated as an attempt to finally give permission, at the source of the grievance (Israel), not to forget, but to at least forgive.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Bruce DeMaraWhile 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.
Shockya.com - 8/10 by Harvey S. KartenA thoughtful look at the need for forgiveness.
Lyles' Movie Files - 7/10 by Jeffrey LylesA compelling character drama that doesn't need the gimmicks and tricks of a thriller to keep the audience invested.
NOW Toronto - 6/10 by Susan G. ColeThis is first-rate filmmaking, and the cast, especially Tagar, prickly yet tender, is very good.
New York Times - 6/10 by Ben KenigsbergPast Life is a page-turner that transforms into a clarion call: always compelling, but slightly stifled by noble intentions.
