Before We Go

this is the first film directed by Chris Evans that I saw.it is well directed,well acted. it has an interesting and delicate perspective on love,lost,sadness and making choices based on profound love and not a little lust. I liked a lot and I enjoyed seeing it 2 times.both actors are comfortable in this position,I liked that there is no much passion and more friendship and real understanding.it is more a chick flick,but if there is a man who wants to be true to himself ,he will also enjoy it.it is wonderful and you will feel good about love and life and yourself ,you will feel hope and happy to be alive after seeing it.enjoy.

This movie is in my watchlist for 8 months. And tonight it screamed to me. The movie cover said "Watch me! Critics are wrong!" And I watched it. The plot is there is a man and there is a woman and of course there is only one night. They stuck in their lives and both of them having a bad time. They met accidentally. They want to help each other. Thats all. Perfect plot for a drama movie because it is similar to 'Before Sunrise' (8.1 IMDb rating) and 'Once' (7.9 IMDb rating).

"But there is something wrong with Before We Go" thats what critics say. I think it is not bad as they say. I mean it doesn't deserves a 31 metascore. It should be 60+. And the Box Office of that film is very bad.

I think Chris Evans did a good job at directing and Alice Eve fits the role perfectly. Before We Go's cinematography is not good as Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight but it is not bad.

When it ends it gives you pain deep in your heart. Because of that I give the title 8/10. I mean I feel that. It touches your heart. You can feel pain, heartbreak, despair, passion and love in that movie. I remember a tagline from the movie "Virgin Suicides" it was 'Just Like Life'. I think that Before We Go is just like life too.

To bash this movie as a "Before Sunrise" knockoff is easy, and maybe even somewhat true. But at the same time it would be missing the point.

Yes Chris Evans' directorial debut is also about two characters who experience a chance meeting and spend a night together. But "Before We Go" is if anything about adult choices and confronting their consequences. The exuberance of romantic love that is part of Richard Linklater's 1995 masterpiece is merely the starting point here. Nick (Chris Evans) and Brooke (Alice Eve) are beyond their college years and try to make amends with elements of their past.

The strolling poetry of "Before Sunrise" is turned into an odyssey that throws the couple into various directions. Kismet is of course the essence of the story and it has to be said that the screenplay sometimes struggles with the very basic conceit of a night in New York. But...there are a few scenes that are spellbindingly played by the two wonderful leads and a few truths about love and heartbreak are uttered that remain very real.

It could also be said that the movie delves into certain elements of "Before Midnight", even though it never reaches the depth of that movie either.

Yet "Before We Go" merits a viewing for those introspective souls who put their faith in destiny while being sometimes at odds with their journey.

The word to describe this movie is, 'humanistic'. It isn't your typical Hollywood movie, and though doesn't have the feel of an indie film, it is somewhat in between the two. Before We Go is a film about raw human emotions and behavior. It explores the lives of two strangers as they connect with each other on a individual level.

While it can be boring for those who are used to scenes of action after action, I found it reasonably enjoyable. As the film goes on, the characters' backgrounds are slowly revealed and we learn more about them. For me, the movie does not really excite or get me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next, or what happened before. Rather, it made me live in the moment of the movie. I was going through the night with the characters, much like how you can't rush life.

Evans does a great job as the charming, helpful, lost soul who wishes to escape his life by wasting time. On the other hand, it took awhile for me to warm up to Eve's character. Eve's acting felt a little awkward initially, and the chemistry between the two felt a bit off. But as the movie went on, it gets better, and that could reflect how connections are made in real life.

Overall, a charming movie with a intricate perspective on life and love.

Chris Evans and Alice Eve played such emotional, brave, and lovely characters in this movie. The movie is not the kind of romance that shows to have a marriage of happily forever after, but instead it shows the deepest life moments in such a few hours. Chris' acting was great and Alice's was good, but not so great since she had to use her American accent. The movie is also the first movie to be directed by Chris Evans, which is pretty cool to see. But to be honest, Before We Go is such a beautiful movie. It's very realistic to me, and it brought a message for me that one can actually love more than one person in this world. People of all ages are recommended to see this, and not only girls, but also some of the guys who are into these kinds of movies. Trust me guys, this little adventure will surely pleased the money you spend to watch this movie and at the end of the day, you will not be disappointed.

This is my first time reviewing and I hope it helps people out. Thanks for reading the review and Peace !
