Harriet (Lucy Boynton) 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 (David Corenswet), her time traveling collides with a burgeoning new love interest in the present (Justin H. Min). As she takes her journey through the hypnotic connection between music and memory, she wonders -- even if she could change the past, should she?

Critics Consensus

The Greatest Hits is built around a genuinely interesting idea, but it's lost in a shallow treatment that's too often content to rely on sentimentality.

A run-of-the-mill romance.

Somber depictions of grief don’t always make for great movies. Director/screenwriter Ned Benson ekes out a decent one in this sensitive romantic triangle.

If The Greatest Hits is any indication, I guess they just don’t make time-travel movies like they used to.

with two magnetic leads...in Boynton and Min, [The Greatest Hits] is such a pleasant delight, that even if it doesn’t quite nail the harmony, it’s melody is rousing enough

Rated: 3/5

JoBlo's Movie Network

The Greatest Hits was almost a good movie if it could have plumbed the depths of these characters a bit more. Instead, it is a forgettable romance with one of the best soundtracks in recent memory.

Rated: 6/10

"The Greatest Hits” is a rare gem that transcends the traditional romance formula, weaving together music, time travel, and a deeply emotional narrative. This film offers a refreshing and poignant exploration of love, heartache, and the weight of life-altering decisions. At its core, “The Greatest Hits” is about the universal struggle to reconcile ambition with love and the bittersweet realization that some choices, no matter how painful, are necessary. What sets “The Greatest Hits” apart is its ability to balance its fantastical premise with raw, relatable emotions. The time-travel element is handled with elegance, avoiding overcomplication and instead serving as a poignant metaphor for reflection and growth. “The Greatest Hits” is a must-watch for anyone who’s ever wondered about the roads not taken. It’s a soulful, beautifully crafted story that reminds us of the power of music, love, and the choices that define us. A modern classic in the making.

Don't think too much about it; just enjoy the bliss of meet-cutes and two people who lost someone and themselves, find each other, and reclaim themselves. And for suckers of films with indie music, this film aced it. Loved the movie soundtrack! +1⭐️
