Priscilla and Past Lives bring prestige drama to your favorite streamers

Priscillacomes with superb word of mouth. It also has both a Coppa Volpi award and a Golden Globe nomination for Caliee Speany, who plays Priscilla. The film is based on the memoirElvis and Meand traces their marriage from their very first meeting to their Graceland days, telling a very different story than your average rock and roll biopic. It’s directed by Sophia Coppola in what many critics say is her best movie since the superbLost in Translation, which recently turned 20. CriticMark Kermodedescribes it as a “twisted fairy tale” that’s neither sensationalist nor judgemental.

Past Lives, also from A24, was nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at this year’s Academy Awards. It follows former childhood sweethearts Nora and Hae Sung as they’re reunited in New York for one fateful week, and it’s had the critics sniffling into their handkerchiefs. It’s a film about longing and regret and that whole being human thing, and it’s also very beautiful. TheLondon Review of Bookssays it’s mysterious: “It is also lucid and precise, intimately devoted to its strange lyrical sorrow. It’s as if we are watching feelings in slow motion.” AndThe Guardiansays it’s a must-see. “Past Livesis a glorious date movie, and a movie for every occasion, too.”
