Before I Fall (2017)

An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Zoey Deutch, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be another riff on the ‘Groundhog Day’ concept and, this time, they mixed it up with a typical high-school drama which wasn’t necessarily a bad idea. The issue with these movies is that they all follow the same template though. Indeed, the main character get stuck in a time-loop until they change something which was fine with ‘Groundhog Day’ but it makes all these similar movies terribly predictable. In this case, another issue was that it took too long to start the time-loop.

Unfortunately, I could not get into this movie at all. Before I fall is not a bad movie, it was just not for me.

" DVD- 1hr. 39min. First Viewing It doesn't always go down smooth, but Before I Fall is mostly successful Y/A-Groundhog Day hybrid. It can be heavy-handed and too "on-the-nose" for its own good (subtle, this film is not) , but the film gets a lot of mileage out of its inherently intriguing set-up, some perceptive insights into modern teenage life and a great lead performance from Zoey Deutch.
