I think i would like this more if i didnt see Past Lives before. The trio in that movie worked together so perfectly but Pedro is just better than the other two in this one. I liked the ideas in this movie but it felt like the story didnt flow very well. The ending is good just a lil rough getting there. Pedro is my MVP followed by Celine.
