Verdict on Dating My Past
Recap
The movie follows a couple’s therapist who tells her new clients about her relationship troubles. It explores her ups and downs along with the things that made her strong.
Best Parts
The movie shows the ups and downs of relationships present. It shows people come in and out of people’s lives and change them for good or bad. This shows the development people go through in life.
Worst Parts
It does seem strange to go into so much detail on a first therapy session. We also see strange choices from Lexie who seems to do as much as possible to make everything more difficult for herself. This mainly comes from putting everything into the extremes, rather than having a sensible reaction to certain things.
Final Thoughts –Dating My Past is an interesting look at relationship ups and downs.
