Featured reviews
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 !

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.

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.
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 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.
