“Before I Fall” leaves a predictable end from the beginning

"Maybe you have a tomorrow, but for some it only exists today, and what you do today matters", with this phrase begins and ends the film (Before I fall, 2017), which makes clear a somewhat predictable end.

Have you ever woke up and in the course of the day you feel that you have already lived a fact beforehand? Well, this is the story of Samantha Kingston, (Zoey Deutch), a teenager who is about to finish the preparation and thinks that her life is perfect. But one day, exactly on Friday, February 12, she will have to relive a déjà vu for more than a week, to discover that you could lose something more important than your popularity.

This film is based on the novel by Lauren Oliver, whose title is the same as the audiovisual project. But Maria Maggenti and Gina Prince-Bythewood are in charge of writing the script for this drama, in which time has a determining factor.

Maggenti and Prince-Bythewood must have been more caring for adaptation, since the excess of "temporary jumps" can break with the narration, causing discomfort to the viewer and pushing to think that there isn't other way for the protagonist, being this predictable in the eyes of the public.

Another prediction point was when Samantha Kingston was in the class of Mr. Daimle, (Diego Boneta), and this one spoke of the myth of Sisyphus, that is a philosophical essay of Albert Camus, where the suicide and the value of the life are discussed.

On the other hand the film was directed by Ry Russo-Young and in this one there was presence of extreme close-up, and dolly retro, in which the actors walked towards the camera.

If you are a Déjà vu fan or you think everything is connected, and the weight of your actions can cause colossal effects, then this movie is for you.
