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.

Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Very little here is special, despite the individual charms of Evans and co-star Alice Eve.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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.

Rated: 2/5

FlixChatter Film Blog

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

Rated: 3/5

It's unlike any rom com I've seen with the way it was shot and the story itself

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Very cute and feel good movie! Back when rom coms were good and simple minded. There’s obviously some faults in the plot line, but other than that, a great tearjerker if you’re sensitive like me.

The two leads were compelling, the plot was very slow and the ending a little unsatisfactory.... but worth a watch for a gentle evening's viewing.

For me this is the perfect rainy day/night romance film. Makes you reflect about what is love, what are true relationships, true connection and if destiny is real, because somethings just feel like they're made to happen in a right time, right place, with the right people... All that taking place in a beautiful cold night in NYC, with fantastic acting, special soundtrack, and a great directing debut delivered by Chris Evans. If you're into romances or just enjoys a good and comfortable movie time, I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
