Before I Go To Sleep (2014)



As book this is one of my favorite book. But as a movie not so much. that's why not every book needs to be made a movie. because some are not. but some might like this movie tho. Kidman is a perfect choice to play Christine precisely for this reason. Christine is a battered woman who prefers being beaten to remembering anything about who she is. Her amnesia is a metaphor for the loss of self to which abused women consent by remaining with their abusers. Her life is an endless present. In this movie movie she looks dead inside. Perfect

AT first the movie was very exciting and all excellently acted by the three leads, and scripted like a riddle that you keep trying to solve; the one main plot twist is mind-blowing. The twist that Colin Firth did it was pretty obvious from the start as it seemed like the most logical direction to take. The film does what you expect and that is its main problem. But the doctor was very fishy as well, he did a great job that made you wonder he was a bad guy as well.

It gets bored easily, I don't know why. This movie had so much potential with great cast and great plot. i know not the most original plot, but could be something more. I didn't have much expectations but the trailer looked good. The film is about Nicole Kidman who wakes up everyday with no memory of the day before. From the offset you get the feeling there something creepy about the husband... There are lots of movements that I felt were spoiled by a build up a violin music


I kinda like this movie, but I'm really sorry to say this movie is kinda Lifetime movie. with the bad guy and a manipulative plot and all. Kidman was good in this movie though. But the very slow made me yawn and it's not even a long movie. So yeah, maybe you shouldn;t watch this movie. but if you want something different you should.

IMDB : 6.2/10
