Critics Consensus

Chris Evans' directorial debut is modest to a fault, with a threadbare story and minimal style leaving his and Alice Eve's likable performances adrift in New York City with nowhere to go.

3/4

While this kind of tale is a fantasy for the movies, with an emphasis on realism in style and deliberately paced story, "Before We Go" suggests that it really can happen, even just for a fleeting moment.

Slight and familiar but sweet enough for Saturday night, Before We Go is the umpteenth re-up of Brief Encounter, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Very little here is special, despite the individual charms of Evans and co-star Alice Eve.

For the new independent film Before We Go, it's Chris Evans's turn to be be a first-timer. The promise is there, but he has a long way to go.

3.5/5

Chris Evans is wise to pick a script that deals with a small cast that takes place over the course of a single night for his directorial debut. Evans and Eve have a pretty sweet chemistry and the tentative romance between them feels earnest.

3/5

Before We Go is mediocre at best and ultimately a forgettable film. Still, it's also somehow decently entertaining despite its shortcomings and occasionally drawn-out melodrama. A film best seen from the comfort of your own home.

I was confused by the whole story. It was just running around and I never really warmed up to the lead female character.

This is the film for every person that still feels hurt, or isn’t where they want to be, or needs the welcomed distraction of a bittersweet reverie. This was not the rom-com I thought it would be, and that’s meant in the best way possible. I was shocked that it was directed by Evans because of its unique story and presentation.

Chris Evans’ first directorial film. And hopefully his last.
