Like the Ones I Used to Know is a beautifully crafted drama set on a chilly Christmas Eve in 1983. The film weaves together moments of childlike wonder and adult anxiety, particularly through Julie and her cousins, who are a bit too hyped on sugar while waiting for Santa. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and a sense of longing, as we see Denis grappling with the emotional weight of his past while he's stuck in his car, contemplating stepping into his former in-laws’ home. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to breathe in the tension and warmth of familial bonds. The performances feel genuine, almost raw, capturing those tiny, fleeting moments that resonate deeply in our own memories.
