Review:
So yeah, Before We Go definitely surprised me in how great of a film it is. As always, I am a sucker for coming of age/dealing with real life problems, independent films. Yes, that's my guilty pleasure, admittedly so.
All of that aside, Before We Go is a really great movie. Parts of the plot can feel a bit overreaching, however, the depth of the characters, the overarching message, and even the realness of struggling of carrying the past is genuine and welcoming.
What really made the film is the chemistry between Chris Evans and Alice Eve who really get you to root for both of their characters to overcome in the end.
And my favorite, the ending wasn't cheesy at all, but was done so well.
If you have some time, find this one and give it a watch. Especially, if you're into the indy scene like I am. You won't be disappointed.
Grade: 4/5
