Despite them loving one another, it seems David (Alfred Lamar) and Sarah's (Aiyana Sakari] relationship has reached a dead end - and as a pretty much last resort, they visit couples therapist Lexie (Chanelle De Lau). Initially Lexie can't even get through to them as they start quarrelling as soon as they talk to one another, so Lexie chooses a different approach and tells them the story of some of her first hand experiences with romance instead, how she fell madly in love with charming Jeremia (Ricky Burchell), and only noticed after 8 months of relationship that he had major anger issues, which ultimately made her drop him for artist Maurice (Alex Sauceman), who treated her nice and with respect but she could never shake the feeling he was into everything else than into her - not into women mind you, but into his art and everything that comes with it. Next in line is Ethan (Cameron L. Mitchell), who's basically Mr. Nice Guy, but with him the friction's somewhat missing - but is that really a bad thing? But speaking of friction, Jeremiah has not yet given up on Lexie, and he makes attempt after attempt to win her back ...

Now admittedly, at times Dating My Past meanders a bit, and at least some narrative threads are inexplicably dropped in the process, but at the same time, the film also feels very heart-felt, especially since it portrays romance pretty much as a rollercoaster with no predictable outcome and as a result features more plottwists than your typical romance, including a surprise ending. And a suitably subtle direction and a relatable ensemble cast only help to make this one a pretty enjoyable watch.
