Antes do Adeus

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.

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 !

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

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.

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.
