Before You Know It

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT is not the sort of film that's for everyone. And that's actually sort of what made it stand out to me. While I liked it, I know that for most it will be more of a "love it or hate it" type of thing.

It's a unique story, wonderfully acted and powerfully directed. The cinematography is great. There are a few moments that I didn't particularly care for, but overall I enjoyed it. Recommend.

While it is often uneven, the characters are engaging and honest. Their flaws make them relatable. You might ask yourself why they would do something so foolish, but you are really frustrated with the same mistakes you make in your own life. In this alone the movie soars in forcing self-reflection from it's audience.

The movie is about a lot of things. And for me, Jen Tullock's character was a lot to take for the first hour - but that is just the author's point. Ultimately, this film had a lovely setting and very fine actors and an original story. Well worth watching.

Was expecting some form of comedy / drama when watching this, but just got drama. That's fine and this film is reasonably OK for a drama. BUT, the comedy bit was missing. Did they forget to put it in? It's categorized as a comedy / drama.

Who knows?

Anyway, if you do watch this, expect drama and don't expect laughs.

I liked the movie! It held my interest, and I am not an easy sell! There was a connection the actors made that made it "relatable to others"!
