Past Life follows a traumatised war journalist who undergoes hypnosis and begins experiencing visions that appear to place him inside the mind of a serial killer from the 1980s. As he teams up with the hypnotist who triggered these episodes, the pair attempt to piece together clues from the murders, all while questioning whether what they are seeing is real or something far more dangerous.
Driven by strong performances from Aneurin Barnard and Jeremy Piven, the film balances grounded drama with surreal, visually striking dream sequences. While its low budget is evident, the commitment from the cast and the focused runtime keep it engaging, even if the final act feels rushed and the twist is predictable.
