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 Jen S (201) on 01 Mar 2017

Looks like a wonderful story. The book was fantastic…

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

Instead of playing up the wackiness of a repetitive day or dividing up a high school into groups of specimens, Russo-Young and Deutch focus…

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

There is something irresistible about this device, and something about the feedback-loop narrative that is particularly well-suited to movies,…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

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

Even Deutch’s charming radiance (she never entirely sells Sam’s nasty side) can’t quite get us through the slog of this plot…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Yip Wai Yee (59) for The Straits Times (Singapore) (616) on 01 Mar 2017

There is a clear moral lesson to be learnt here, yet the movie is not at all preachy…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 01 Mar 2017

Director Ry Russo-Young and screenwriter Maria Maggenti are far more interested in surface appearances than substance…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 01 Mar 2017

Before I Fall has more moods than one, and it never feels like a dirge about young adults who don't realize the world won't end because they're sad…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Bennett Campbell Ferguson (43) for Willamette Week (516) on 01 Mar 2017

A mean girl learns to play nice in this slick, soulless riff on Groundhog Day that isn't half as heartfelt as it pretends to be…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By David Noh (869) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 01 Mar 2017

Emo Groundhog Day, strictly recommended for the more morose millennial set…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 28 Feb 2017

The film mostly retains its humanity, largely thanks to Deutch’s performance and Russo-Young’s insistence on keeping her at the forefront…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By April Wolfe (199) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 28 Feb 2017
