Review of Before I Go

I almost didn't watch this based upon the score but Annabella Sciorra, Willie Garson and Robert Klein create winning characters so I gave it a watch. I am glad I did. Clearly an indie format this isn't RomCom Popcorn fluff. The movie is written well with only a couple theatre style lines poking thru otherwise authentic dialogue. It's shot nicely and clearly thought was put into the framing, colorization and editing. It does lull a little in the middle but it's otherwise on tempo. It's a life movie, along the tenor of A Marriage Story, it's Annabella's characters dealing with mid-late middle age. I liked it, l liked that it wasn't trite fluff. Annabella still holds the screen as does Klein and Willie Garson is Willie Garson and that's just perfect. Filled with subtle living in New York touches (plastic bag shoe or dressing down in public) this is a great little flick that ends on a high note. If you're a movie buff or a fan of the actors then give this solid indie flick a watch, you won't be disappointed.
