Over the last ten years, the prestige of studio A24 has significantly increased, largely due to the phenomenal success of films such as “Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” “Pearl,” “Uncut Gems,” “Aftersun,” and “Lady Bird” in various genres. The release of “Moonlight” in 2016 seemed to mark a new chapter for the studio, as it won the Best Picture award at the Academy Awards. In recent years, A24’s success has continued, with “Everything Everywhere All at Once” winning the Best Picture accolade in 2023, along with six other awards. Another remarkable drama from the same year, “Past Lives,” also earned two Oscar nominations in 2024 and now has a new home on a streaming platform.
This year, you can catch “Past Lives” by A24 on Amazon Prime Video. Originally, it was streamed on Netflix last year but was only available for a short period. Known for producing intense dramas like “Aftersun” and “A Ghost Story”, this film is no exception. Written and directed by Celine Song (“The Wheel of Time”), it explores the theme of childhood friendship and love that feels like finding “the one” at a young age.
After being separated in their youth, the characters’ lives diverge until a chance encounter 20 years later reignites their connection. Greta Lee plays Nora, Teo Yoo is Hae Sung, and John Magaro portrays Nora’s husband, Arthur. By revisiting the trope of long-lost love, the film offers a fresh perspective on an oft-explored theme. In brief, the movie revolves around the reunion of two childhood friends who discover if their feelings for each other still hold true after all these years.
Nora and Hae Sung, who have been close since their early days, find themselves separated when Nora’s family moves to another country. After twenty long years, fate brings them back together for a crucial week, during which they explore themes of love and destiny.
In the year 2023, the movie titled “Past Lives” was widely acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. It boasts an outstanding Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%, along with a nearly equivalent audience score of 93%. On Letterboxd, this film has garnered a rating of 4.2 out of 5, with a significant number of top-rated 5-star reviews.
A24’s 2025 Releases
A24 could be among the select production and distribution companies boasting a devoted fan following, apart from the colossus that is Disney. Over the last ten years, the fervor for A24 has been escalating, and the studio appears to have capitalized on this trend by launching merchandise and amusing trinkets, such as the pet rock from “EEAAO”. Consequently, similar to the names Tarantino or Scorsese that can single-handedly sell a film, so too does the A24 brand.
2021 could see one of A24’s most powerful lineups to date. Notably, Celine Song brings a fresh drama titled “Materialists,” featuring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. Moreover, legendary filmmaker Spike Lee is reimagining Akira Kurosawa’s classic “High and Low” with Denzel Washington. Additionally, Dwayne Johnson will star in the intense drama “The Smashing Machine,” directed by Benny Safdie, focusing on MMA legend Mark Kerr. Lastly, horror master Ari Aster is set to add to his impressive body of work with “Eddington,” boasting an all-star cast including Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Austin Butler, and Pedro Pascal.
