Before I Go to Sleep (2014)

November 1, 2014 4:14 PM

Several years ago, a woman was savagely beaten and now suffers from amnesia - she can make no new memories. Now 40 years old, she wakes up every morning reverted to the memories she had before the attack. Every day, as she wakes up to a man she doesn't remember marrying, she pieces bits of memory together with clues she leaves herself the previous day.

Based on the best-selling novel by S.J. Watson. Starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth.

This was an interesting viewing experience, because I saw it with my wife, who read and loved the book. I did not read it. For me, this was a serviceable thriller that was maybe a bit too long (even at just 90 minutes or so). For her, it was much better, because she had context and could read between the lines, and she had a pre-awareness of the characters. Fun movie that's going to be compared to "Memento" a lot.
