What to Know

Critics Consensus

Chris Evans' directorial debut is modest to a fault, with a threadbare story and minimal style leaving his and Alice Eve's likable performances adrift in New York City with nowhere to go.

3/4
While this kind of tale is a fantasy for the movies, with an emphasis on realism in style and deliberately paced story, "Before We Go" suggests that it really can happen, even just for a fleeting moment. Go to Full Review Ella Taylor NPR 09/04/2015
Slight and familiar but sweet enough for Saturday night, Before We Go is the umpteenth re-up of Brief Encounter, not that there's anything wrong with that. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com 09/04/2015

Very little here is special, despite the individual charms of Evans and co-star Alice Eve. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 02/16/2024

For the new independent film Before We Go, it's Chris Evans's turn to be be a first-timer. The promise is there, but he has a long way to go. Go to Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog 06/14/2022
3.5/5
Chris Evans is wise to pick a script that deals with a small cast that takes place over the course of a single night for his directorial debut. Evans and Eve have a pretty sweet chemistry and the tentative romance between them feels earnest. Go to Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Movies with Mae 05/02/2019
3/5
Before We Go is mediocre at best and ultimately a forgettable film. Still, it's also somehow decently entertaining despite its shortcomings and occasionally drawn-out melodrama. A film best seen from the comfort of your own home. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Randy @R.Christopher 1d This is the film for every person that still feels hurt, or isn’t where they want to be, or needs the welcomed distraction of a bittersweet reverie. This was not the rom-com I thought it would be, and that’s meant in the best way possible. I was shocked that it was directed by Evans because of its unique story and presentation. See more K @Cinemasad 2d Chris Evans’ first directorial film. And hopefully his last. See more Wayne E @Wayne13 Jan 29 An improbable, yet realistic portrayal of two people who meet accidentally and spend a night working through deep-seated relationship issues, and in the process gain greater understanding of themselves and each other. This is a charming movie that held our attention for the duration (no longer easy to do) although it occasionally veered close to skidding off the rails. The one dissonance for me is that Alice Eve was a bit too good-looking for the role. He is obviously smitten with her from the start but she wasn't smitten with him. It would have been nice to see both characters slowly gain trust, respect, and affection for each other during the course of the long evening. See more Raymond D. @raydiaz Jan 19 A simple yet charming tale of two people who meet in a chance encounter at Grand Central Station that leads to a journey through NY. Likeable characters (Chris Evans and Alice Eve) have decent chemistry together. Directed by Chris Evans in his directorial debut. See more Rob G @Robtomato Dec 31 Well written, subtle, intelligent and easy style to watch. Characters that all can relate to in authentic manner of real life See more Lindi C @LinCar10 Dec 7 This was the longest 2 hour movie with no real plot line. Boring and slow with a forbidden romance that didn't really make sense. The only thing the movie had going for it was that Chris Evans was in it. The movie didn't make sense and had no build up for the supposed romance, until the last 14 minutes of the movie. Waste of 2 hours of time. See more Read all reviews
