Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 03 Mar 2017

The movie's lessons are basic and belabored, and its presentation of them is only slightly more sophisticated…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for MTV (492) on 03 Mar 2017

The film doesn't trust Deutch to complete the full redemption arc from sinner to saint, which is, you know, the point of the script…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Scott Marks (172) for San Diego Reader (713) on 03 Mar 2017

Deutch's naturalistic performance grounds the various layers of the story in a manner that keeps it from becoming either boring or wildly unrealistic…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Daniel Gelb (83) for AllMovie (142) on 03 Mar 2017

It's refreshing, at least, to see a YA film that doesn't feel the need to hide behind a postapocalyptic conceit…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 03 Mar 2017

It all comes down to the fact that this landscape's too well-tread and the central conceit should have remained retired…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Rebecca Pahle (171) for Pajiba (523) on 03 Mar 2017

Before I Fall is a melodramatic, inspirational bit of teen schlock where everyone in it is a sociopath…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Mar 2017

To be fair, there are occasional moments that succeed dramatically. These are typically the quieter, less histrionic ones…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 03 Mar 2017

The real reason the movie ends up being as enjoyable as it is has more to do with Deutch's infectious star-turn more than it does anything else…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Robin Clifford (1,670) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 03 Mar 2017

Aimed at the femme teen audience and, while it misses the target by a mile for me, the aforementioned 65-year old, male film critic, it hits…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 03 Mar 2017

In repeating one fateful day, Sam will learn about the consequences of bullying, what's important in adult relationships, empathy, judgement…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Sandie Angulo Chen (751) for Common Sense Media (4,943) on 03 Mar 2017

Mix of iffy behavior, strong messages in well-acted YA tale…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Christian Toto (897) for HollywoodInToto.com (350) on 03 Mar 2017

Like, OMG, mean girls are sooo mean! What can we do about it…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 03 Mar 2017

The stakes involved don't seem terribly urgent, and none of the characters are engaging enough to make Sam's feuds and friendships with them…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Jim Judy (1,199) for Screen It! (1,437) on 03 Mar 2017

It hits enough notes just right to come off profound and poignant enough that you don't mind the mash-up and lack of originality…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Josh Terry (603) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 03 Mar 2017

Anyone who has seen Bill Murray's Groundhog Day will instantly recognize its similarities to Before I Fall…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Stephen Schaefer (147) for Boston Herald (1,433) on 03 Mar 2017

As she changes, Deutch lets us see Sam's capacity for self-realization, compassion and common sense…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Dirk Libbey (36) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 03 Mar 2017

The basic premise of Before I Fall feels like it was created by a roomful of cynical studio executives trying to create a successful project…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By David Berry (137) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 03 Mar 2017

Before I Fall takes the premise of Harold Ramis’s rom-com and drains it of soul, soft touches and humorous pathos, plodding through its message…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Susan Wloszczyna (541) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 03 Mar 2017

I applaud whoever thought of casting Jennifer Beals as Sam’s mother, the lone grown-up who has any real impact…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 03 Mar 2017
