There’s a reason Zoey Deutch is often “the girl” in comedies.
2773d ago
Zoey Deutch plays a popular high-school girl who is compelled to live the same day over and over in this adaptation from director Ry Russo-Young of Lauren Oliver's YA novel.
2773d ago
Envision a film that combines the perpetual do-over premise of “Groundhog Day” with the smug high-school alpha femmes of “Mean Girls.” Then imagine if it had about 85 percent fewer laughs than either comedy but 100 percent more scenes that will likely engage your tear ducts.
2773d ago
Life lessons delivered over a single day, relived over and over.
2773d ago
In some ways, the premise of Before I Fall sounds a bit like a horror movie plot: Groundhog Day, but set in high school.
2773d ago
It’s not as simple as being mean; it’s about being selfish, too. In watching Sam find her way, Before I Fall reveals itself to be an effective journey, especially for its target audience.
2773d ago
“Before I Fall” is a movie that will make its core audience of teenage girls melt and is a nice diversion for everyone else. It will make Hollywood studios take Russo-Young more seriously and be a calling card for Deutch, Sage and Miller. That’s not so bad, is it? Plus, did we mention that soundtrack?
2773d ago
Ry Russo-Young's YA adaptation feels distinct from so many teen-centric melodramas, even as it recycles the premise of 'Groundhog Day.'
2773d ago
This YA adaptation with Zoey Deutch as a popular girl in a time loop of life and death has sincerity and style.
2773d ago
If you’re going to make a teenage version of a Hollywood favorite, you could do worse than Groundhog Day, which explores whether it's possible to figure yourself out when faced with the madness of infinity. Isn't that how most high school kids feel?
2773d ago
Adaptation of popular young-adult novel keeps its teen heroine on repeat until she gets things right.
2773d ago
Take a YA novel and a director like Ry Russo-Young with serious indie-film cred, and, if you’re lucky, you might wind up with something like this mash-up of Groundhog Day and Heathers.
2773d ago
Don’t get trapped in the loop of Before I Fall, a mopey Groundhog Day for teens.
2773d ago
Even Deutch’s charming radiance (she never entirely sells Sam’s nasty side) can’t quite get us through the slog of this plot.
2773d ago
A popular senior in high school relives Valentine’s Day over and over again until she becomes a better person.
2773d ago
Before I Fall is tactful rather than maudlin, tasteful rather than lurid, soothing rather than creepy. None of that is good news.
2773d ago
Before I Fall spouts tired platitudes about the value of altruism and living each day as it if were the last.
2773d ago
Before I Fall makes a simple plot into this convoluted, aggravating mess of emotional turmoil that lacks a shocking amount of direction.
