Before We Go

I loved it and I believe you all will feel the same after seeing the movie.That was one refreshing performance by both the leads. Both the characters were so perfect and the actors delivered perfection. You will not get bored throughout the movie although the movie revolves around two main characters.That was unexpected and an out of the box performance for me. The dialoges are so perfectly timed.The music too complements the movie. A simple storyline but definitely not the performance. Let me put it like this,"charming and refreshing".The movie kind of gets on you as it goes. Before I go,let me tell, you'll love it.

In what is clearly Chris Evans homage to Before Sunrise and other 'one night and one setting' romances, Before We Go still manages to do more than charm and romance, it brings new ideas and concepts to a genre that always seems to be flooded with cliches. I love what this film says about fate, friendship, and that life is really just a play where everyone plays their own role in an overall story. Evans and Alice Eve have great chemistry and it's brief runtime makes re-watchability feel like an easy and necessary task. I think this one has even the most cynical viewers finding something refreshing real in Before We Go.

7.5/10

I'm going to make it short. I'd rather not go into elaborate analyses and proper assessment the more so because I don't want to sound pretentious. Let me just say, that I thoroughly enjoyed the film. It is funny, thoughtful (but not overdramatised), clever and sensitive at the same time. Finally a film where love, a man and a woman and the relationship between them is treated with respect, gentleness and is elevating, and refreshing. The script is great, the acting is superb, the dialogues, those subtle gestures, looks, smiles are all in place. Nothing overdone just treated with natural care. What little glitches there are in this movie simply add to its charm. Watching this film is a great experience, it's great entertainment. I warmly recommend watching it.

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.

Its a beautifully written one night love story between Nick and Brooke who met and spend the night together trying to figure out what the next step in the night (and in life) should be. It's wonderfully done, with Chris Evans directing himself and Alice Eve. The chemistry between them is wonderfully sweet and gentle, as if watching two best friends finding out about each other.

The music is soft and complemented the film beautifully. The night lights of New York adds the romantic mood. The story itself is revealed layer by layer. I thought I'd be watching something predictable but it isn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Lovely film.
