The Dublin Film Critics Circle has announced its 2023 award winners, with the romantic drama Past Lives winning Best Film and its writer-director, Celine Song, named Best Director.
Reacting to her wins, Song said: "Thank you so much to The Dublin Film Critics Circle for these incredible honours - it means the world to me for my first feature film to be named Best Film and Best Director of the year.
"As someone who grew up admiring Irish cinema and literature, I had such a special time introducing Past Lives to the Irish audience at the Galway Film Fleadh this year.
"It's been so meaningful to see the way the film has resonated with Irish audiences. I have a piece of my heart in Ireland. Thank you - I'm so incredibly touched and honoured."
