Before I Fall (2017)

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Another film on the "Time Loop" motip. It's about a teenage girl with a perfect life: perfect family, perfect friends and school, until everything changes. She is trapped into a time loop, reviving one day over and over again, and unable to get out of it. Going to find an answer and solution for all the troubles she is in, she also discovers the secrets of people around her, secrets that changed her own life and her means of happiness forever. The time runs out, and she realizes the day she is living will be her last day, and she has to do everything in her power to save a person's life and make hers matter, before it's too late... If you want to see a teenager film that is enjoyable and not too much drama or boring, "Before I Fall" is a good choice. I dont like the ending, but it's reasonable, and it's a plot twist. (possible spoilers here). Time Loop concept is not something new, and there is thousands of films have been done with it before this one. Recently, it's "Happy Death Day" and also about teenagers and time loop thingy, so if you have already watched it, then you will feel fine about "Before I Fall". The acting is great, though. The music? Not too much. The plot is good, but they could've make it better and clearer to the audiences. Death is something you cant run away, and the girl's fate had already set in the beginning, when she died in that car crash. She just had to make her death count by saving another life, and making her own matter. Once she did it, the time loop would end. The ending did make me think, but it wasnt deep enough, not like what I expected after seeing the whole thing. I do recommend this movie, and you can watch in a lazy Sunday morning, when you have nothing else to do. 7 stars rating for "Before I Fall".

A must-watch for teenagers and for anybody. It puts your life and goals into perspective.

Before I Fall, is truly a very very important movie about bullying and being the best person you possibly can be. After dying from a car accident, Sam wakes up reliving the same day over and over. Now the movie seems boring and pointless, however the movie had heart and passion. This movie had me in tears and made me wonder what makes me a good person? What are some things I need to work on? How can I show love towards this person or that person? Before I Fall reminds us that we only have one life and what we choose to do within that small time we have on this Earth is up to us. I highly recommend the movie to anyone out there old or young. The movie has changed my life and the way I look at myself. This film will have you in tears."Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you, there's 1,000 or 3,000, or 10... So much time, you can bathe in it. So much time, you can waste it. But for some of us, there's only today, and what you do today matters - in the moment, and maybe into infinity... But I didn't know any of that... Until right before I fell." -Sam, Before I Fall

Had NO IDEA when starting to watch this movie it would impact me, a 58 yr old father, husband the way it did. Very very very moving and extremely motivational for actual real life and an example one person could have upon impacting so many other people's lives, for the good or bad, by one's daily choices purposeful displays and words of love and expression. Very powerful and I'll probably be watching this movie many times as an example of its influence upon people!
