... View MoreIt was such a good movie. Everything was perfect about it. Why did people rate it so low? It kept me entertained the whole time. I tried to watch "no country for old men" It was so boring I couldn't take it and switched to this one. Nicole Kidman is a stunning perfect woman who doesn't age. She's a great actress. I'm glad I found this after a long searching time. I found it by searching the tag "mental patient". I love horror and I watch every single one of them. This was more of a crime thriller mystery but I'm glad I watched it
... View MoreBrilliantly gripping film with lots of twist and second guessing. The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that the director made a huge error forgetting to explain Claire's role... oops! But decides that it's well worth a watch!

... View MoreFilm Review: "Before I Go To Sleep" (2014)It is rarely come together, when a film just leaves the spectators nerves blank. Dealing highly adultery themes of grown-up human behavior in relationships of love, anger, control and security in a world out of balance, where the character of Christine Lucas, portrayed by actress Nicole Kidman in exhausting fragile mode of connecting thoughts on a close to impossible state of emotional sophistication between her husband, performing in surprisingly double-shifting manner by actor Colin Firth, her psychiatrist, portrayed in solid states by Mark Strong and further mysterious characters of ex-husband, lost child and abandoned girl-friend that one will ask how director Rowan Joffe could decide to give "Before I Go To Sleep" a running time of just 85 Minutes excluding the end credits.Actress Nicole Kidman carries the film without a doubt, yet the indecisive direction on making the character of Christine just a victim and Kidman's interpretation with the input given creates a rolling-with-it attitude, but no hooking identification with the character of Christine Lucas. She suffers from skilfully opening shot on Nicole Kidman's marine blue blood-shot eye and dollying into medium close-up to the end of finding out the true identities surrounding, which the character throughout the film needs to explore over and over again in locations of clean precision set designs, which at no time break out of the conventional to break a sequence with pure visualizations of Christine's mindscape, recalling Alfred Hitckcock collaborating with Salvadore Dalí for "Spellbound" (1945).Director Rowan Joffe has no such skills of inventing a dream sequence. Instead he delivers a clean-cut string of photographs in a neuro-psychological institution, where the character of Christine needs to confront her demons with the director unable to tighten the screw on nerve-wrecking suspense toward a sensational showdown in a airport hotel room, where Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth, letting the year early build relationship of trust with in season 2012/2013 produced motion picture of "The Railway Man" collide in a full-bodied confrontation between the sexes, worthy to be witness by such talented and engaging cast, yet under Rowan Joffe's direction quickly drifting away into an cliché-netted domestic violence theme, which leaves the spectre unsatisfied and undecided on the screen-story's conclusion, even though everything had been resolved and need-fully packed up from S.J. Watson's novel adaptation to high quality standard's independently produced by Ridley Scott's production company Scott Free.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
