Writer-director Avi Nesher’s historical mystery Past Life entertains, but never fully figures out what it wants to be. Juggling narratives of sisterly togetherness, memories of holocaust survivors, patriarchal biases in the 1970s, and what it means on a religious level to forgive and forget, Past Life has a lot of elements that should fit together smoothly, but never cohere. It’s a satisfactory period piece loosely inspired by true events with some great performances and lots of novel details to heighten its characters and core mystery, but it’s also forgettable and sometimes frustratingly drawn out and repetitive.
