Samantha Kingston seems to have it all and a seemingly perfect future. Everything changes in the blink of an eye when she dies in a car crash but then magically wakes up to find herself reliving the same day over and over again. Sam untangles the mystery around her death and discovers everything she's losing.
A little 'Carrie,' a little 'Groundhog Day,' and a little essay about what makes us become cruel, 'Before I Fall' is a thought-provoking movie about friendships, developing a moral compass and growing up.
Director Ry Russo-Young seems genuinely interested in tapping into these characters and reminding us what fresh hell adolescence brings each day, but the material resists her.
