Featured reviews
I haven't seen a movie like "Before we go" for a very long time. The script, the story the characters everything is just so charming and cute. I love that kind of "intimacy" on screen,it's intelligent and honest. I'm with a smile on my face after the movie. I think this is definitely not a commercial movie so if you need to see something different but at the same time very close to you. That will be not a waste of your time but a reason to questioning yourself and consume things in a different way
Very true, gentle... great directing work, light and acting at the same time Perfect place to chose New York City by night...applause to the cast +crew. If you need to see something smart,depth and sensitive... Enjoy:)

I honestly adore almost everything about this film, ad I'm surprised to be saying that since I had NO EXPECTATIONS going in.
Alice Eve is simultaneously charming and troubled, and allows you to quickly delve into her character, who bounces perfectly off of Evans'. She has a roughness to herself here that prevents her from being a generic love interest, and I really appreciated that. Chris Evans though is the highlight of this film; for two reasons. Firstly, his acting is stellar here; as he plays his usual charming role but with a more sorrowful, thoughtful approach. This lets him make you fall for him as Eve does, but also appreciate his sly smugness. Secondly because I've always wanted to see one of his directorial efforts, and I wasn't disappointed. The film oozes stylistically, editing-wise and has a strong flair for character and emotion; and you can tell Evans had a heavy hand in this!
Music choices and their scarcity were honestly perfect. The tone was mellow but tense. The length was great. Some parts drag but in a good way (if that even makes sense?). And the idea to show this pair meet and become closer over what is almost real-time was a perfect choice for this story! I know its obviously already been done before, but I think it was done particularly well here, as development happens organically.
Oh my god, and that ending! Freaking perfect! I loved it!
I'm surprised to be giving this such a high score, and it might only be this high because of my initial feelings. But at the time of writing this; I honestly can't recommend this enough! Do yourself a favour and indulge in this perfectly cheesy and touching tale of love and self-discovery. I'm sure you won't regret 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.

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.
