By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 02 Mar 2017

Before I Fall isn't stunning, but that it works at all is kind of miraculous, treating its characters with dignity and taking their hidden…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 02 Mar 2017

Serviceable teen drama, distinguished by smart direction and an excellent performance by star Zoey Deutch…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Michael Heaton (182) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 02 Mar 2017

It's a movie that should be required viewing for all teenagers struggling with life's inevitable challenges…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Dann Gire (642) for Chicago Daily Herald (649) on 02 Mar 2017

As Lindsay, Sage handles the heavy lifting in this cast, giving what could have been a one-dimensional B-queen a vulnerable, frightened interior…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Leah Pickett (132) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 02 Mar 2017

The main characters are high school bullies, but director Ry-Russo Young refuses to stereotype them; they can be sweet and endearing one moment,…

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 02 Mar 2017

Before I Fall puts all its excellent elements in service to a story that’s well-told and has a valuable lesson…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 02 Mar 2017

It’s without a shred of guilt that I say there is honest pleasure to be found in Before I Fall, which takes an unapologetically silly conceit…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 02 Mar 2017

It says something about Deutch’s appeal that she does manage to pull the story from the vexing hole it digs itself into…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 02 Mar 2017

It's fairly serious stuff, perhaps because the movie was thoughtfully scripted by Maria Maggenti, who wrote one of the best-ever movies about…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Mar 2017

The film is unexpectedly compelling, even if you’re not a teenage girl, though being one certainly wouldn’t hurt…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 02 Mar 2017

What really stinks about Before I Fall is that it zaps all the fun and humor out of its time-bending premise, leaving behind a lot of moping…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 02 Mar 2017

Before I Fall is tactful rather than maudlin, tasteful rather than lurid, soothing rather than creepy. None of that is good news…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 01 Mar 2017

Expropriates Harold Ramis's Groundhog Day for the high-school set, featuring good ensemble performances but with the flaw that the principal…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Norman Wilner (961) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 01 Mar 2017

Deutch's textured performance still sells Sam's emotional arc, and younger moviegoers will find a lot to mull over in the narrative's key questions…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Abbey Bender (99) for Uproxx (697) on 01 Mar 2017

Before I Fall ends disappointingly with a moment of sacrifice that feels too heavy handed…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Brian Formo (125) for Collider (1,032) on 01 Mar 2017

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 01 Mar 2017

Meretricious hooey...that turns the premise of an endlessly-repeating day into an inane, fatally humorless afterschool special…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 01 Mar 2017

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 01 Mar 2017
