It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 160 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Lucy Boynton leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Greatest Hits is worth clearing space for. The Greatest Hits treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Harriet finds art imitating life when she discovers certain songs can transport her back in time – literally. While she relives the past through romantic memories of her former boyfriend, her time travelling collides with a burgeoning new love interest in the present. As she takes her journey through the hypnotic connection between music and memory, she wonders – even if she could change the past, should she? Lucy Boynton and Justin H. Min lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It hit screens in 2024. The Greatest Hits resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

The Greatest Hits is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Lucy Boynton grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
