Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

Starring: Nicole Kidman – Collin Firth – Mark Strong
Written/ Directed: Rowan Joffe
Duration: 92 minutes
Rating: Restricted

The story of an amnesiac Nicole Kidman trying to get a hold of her memories and the 14 years she cannot seem to remember, might sound interesting at first. However, this is a movie you might consider a nightmare to watch, and not for its thrills and its grip on your thoughts, but for the lack of those two things, and for the lack of any innovative approach to the problems at hand… on the contrary this movie treats the audience as if they are the ones who cannot remember what happened in the scene before….

This is a movie that plays on your nerves for the lack of creativity, the very dim plot line and the absurdity of the relationships between the characters and the sub characters… all in all this a movie that highly disappoints and amazingly manages to make you wish you were with amnesia to forget you ever went through with it…

if you are short on time and want to watch a better movie in such manner, get a hold of Memento and get lost in its originality…. 


Metascore:  41/100
Daffy Meter: 4/10 (the movie is a nightmare, especially if you were hoping for something Cast worthy….)
