COS M @RT62135094 Nov 3, 2026 ★★★★★ — MASTERPIECE + Wow! What a movie! A brilliant, brilliantly layered screenplay, extraordinary direction, and an Oscar-worthy performance by Zoey Deutch, who carries this film magnificently. Through the freshness and energy of teenage life, the film delivers a universal message: become aware of your awareness, live fully in the present, and recognize that every moment is precious because we never know which will be our last. The storytelling is extraordinarily clever, bringing its emotional threads together through family, friendship, love, compassion, and one ultimate act of selflessness. The soundtrack, music, and youthful energy make the experience even more captivating. We are the directors of our own lives. We can edit our movie while we’re living it, making conscious choices in every moment. A beautiful, deeply moving cinematic gem whose message transcends age. Five stars hardly seem enough! See more

Anabel C @RT66117608 Jul 10, 2026 Wish I could give this movie a zero although that isn’t an option. I will never be able to get this hour and a half back. Overall DO NOT WATCH! Save your dignity and your time. See more

Mimi H @RT44081477 Jun 24, 2026 Before I Fall is one of the most pointless, emotionally manipulative movies I have watched in a long time. It tries so hard to be deep, profound, and meaningful, but by the end, it feels like the writers confused tragedy with substance. The entire story builds toward the idea that Sam needs to "become who she is," take accountability, stop being cruel, and break away from the shallow, mean-girl version of herself. Fine. That could have worked. But instead of giving her an ending where she actually has to live with her growth, repair the damage she helped cause, defend Juliet, leave her toxic friend group, and become a better person in a real way, the movie takes the laziest possible route: a dramatic sacrifice that makes no practical or emotional sense. There were better options for the ending, like say, they both live and become friends, and Sam is with Kent. That would have made more sense than the trash ending we are left with. A complete waste of time. See more

azeem H @Azeem1 Jun 19, 2026 You know a film is ground breaking when it has many imitators. Before I fall, is just another version of Groundhog Day. Before I fall is actually fairly well made it offers a mini-twist similar to the one used at the end of The Terminator. So already it has used the template from two genre defining films. The film itself is a solid watch the direction is fine without being memorable however it is the actors who are really good, Zoey Deutch has gone onto become a reliable indie and comedy actress, not quite a star in the way her mum Leah Thompson became in the 80s, but Deutch is always highly watchable. Simply put this is solid a film and passes the time. See more

Dee L @SunLillyFairy Jan 31, 2026 Decent for what it is. It's a play on Groundhog's Day, without the good comedy. It does have a nice message and I enjoyed watching it at home. See more
