Before I Fall Enhanced by Lauren Oliver
3.0
Movie Review:
Before I Fall was an exceptionally well done movie. For someone who has read the book, I can say that I am really satisfied with how the book to movie adaptation turned out to be. It stayed true to the book, so it was just like I was seeing the book come to life. It still triggered emotions, and captured hearts. It was still an emotional and dramatic rollercoaster that will leave the audience to think of life in a different perspective. And it was still a story that has such a meaningful message to tell. The only major change was that she didn't wake up at the exact same day for seven days, but it really didn't affect the storyline. Also, I'd like to point out that movie Sam was definitely better than book Sam. Book Sam was hard to sympathize with because she was a character who was easy to dislike. The only time I actually got to like her was during the last chapter, the seventh and last day. Whereas movie Sam was the complete opposite. It was easier to like her and it was easier to connect with her.
The actors did a great job portraying the characters. They were just like how I pictured they would be. The flow of the story was also well done. It was easy for the audience to understand what was going on. I'm also really glad that they were able to include quotes from the book. The quotes were beautifully written and poetic so it was a good thing that they didn't cast that aside.
Overall, it's a well done adaptation. It's a movie I'd like to watch again. So I'm going to give it a 4/5 stars, same rating I gave to the book.
