Before I Fall sees Sam (Zoey Deutch) in a car crash, one February 12th, leading to a Groundhog Day-type situation as she relives the same day over and over again.
The billing states that she has a charmed life until it turns out to be her last… Stuck reliving her last day over one inexplicable week, she untangles the mystery around her death and discovers everything she’s in danger of losing.
I hate to say it, but as I just kept thinking of Groundhog Day, this film looks like the kind of thing we’ve seen before….
Directed by Ry Russo-Young, from a script by Maria Maggenti, based on the novel by Lauren Olive, the film also stars Halston Sage and Jennifer Beals.
“What if you had only one day to change absolutely everything?”… I wouldn’t watch this.
Before I Fall is released in the US on March 3rd 2017, but as of yet there’s no UK date. Be thankful for small mercies.
