Truly Dreadful Film

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

First off, the setting was quite unique with a more realistic view of new york than you'd normally see. The storyline and the characters are interesting, as they are dealing with adult problems and 'the real world' while still getting involved in a romantic love story. Parts of this film that i did not like, were the cheesy lines and the sometimes too-perfect acting of Chris Evans. Especially the conversations to past selves on the public telephones were just too perfectly worded to be realistic. I also would've wished there would have been a more in-depth background story of the main characters, since we didn't get too them that well. However, this film was still very enjoyable.I really appreciated the unique storyline and the many different 'real world problems' that made the movie very relatable.

At first this movie reminded me little of the movie 'Something Real and Good'. Great and natural story. I think lots of people can learn a lot from the way this man and women treat eachother. It's not like the typical lovestory, but something that can really happen.
However all the positive sides of this movie, i do miss something. I became sad of the end of this movie. I really hoped to see how the relationship of the women turned out. If they ever had contact again. What the man wrote on the back of the hotelcard. Great, honest, real and sweet movie.

I want to clarify in the beginning that I haven't seen the 'Before' Trilogy, so cannot draw parallels with 'Before Sunrise'. I will review it as a standalone. That said, I'll dive into it.
Before We Go is the directorial debut of Chris Evans, who does a very decent job, I must say. The story revolves around Nick Vaughn(Chris Evans), a street musician and Brooke Dalton(Alice Eve), a painter. Both of them meet at a chance encounter at the Grand Central Station in New York, when Brooke misses her last train and she has no way to return back home (her purse gets stolen). Nick is packing his trumpet for the day, and readying himself for a jazz audition the next day. The station is closed and Brooke is left stranded. Nick lends a helping hand, and together, they spend the night roaming in the streets of New York, singing in marriage receptions, on trains, at a seers house and coffee shops.
The chemistry between the leads is not an immediate spark and flame, but is palpable and slow burning. The movie explores the perceptions of life, loss and love. Nick is left questioning about true love, while Brooke on her ruining marriage. The strangers who started off as being friendly, landed on spilling each others innermost secrets, turned each other's advisers and ended up as support. I honestly liked the way Evans handled the take on love: delicately, with meaningful perception and dialogue. Well, as Nick says, "It is possible to love two people in a lifetime."
Wouldn't mind a sequel of this indie drama.

The movie is brilliant! Among all other movies in the box offices this one is like that rare jewel that glimmer in between of all. The movie leaves you with the feeling that things can be very simple and makes you feel happy. And it's all about us how to choose to speak and react to other people. Chris Evans did gate job - to work on something that it's not all for the fortune and glory, but for love and the simple things. Admiration!
