An incoherent mess. Before I go to Sleep seem to speed through its story leaving huge holes and nobody explaining what is going on for the audience. The movie felt like it was made on two days and it shows.

Book was decent but predictable; one of those books you can't wait to read and then wonder what your going to do with it now that you gotten through it. The movie was worse.

The movie was worse. I sat through 20 minutes and gave up once they cut out most of the first three chapters of content and build up. Waste of time overall, both the book and the movie… Expand

The sheer amount of absurdness in this movie is unforgivable, this is a VERY badly executed thriller that was borrowed from a mediocre novel that no one cared about anyway. Naomi Watts gave an even worse performance than Diana!

Before I Go to Sleep tries to be Memento but fails miserably at doing so, with an only apparently convoluted plot which actually leaves traces of its conclusion everywhere - so that when the final twist arrives, there's not much left to thinkBefore I Go to Sleep tries to be Memento but fails miserably at doing so, with an only apparently convoluted plot which actually leaves traces of its conclusion everywhere - so that when the final twist arrives, there's not much left to think but "I knew it". The mediocre production sets the disappointing mood for the as much mediocre performance by Nicole Kidman, and the as much disappointing performance by Colin Firth.

Also, major, major plot holes throughout and inexplicable character development (a character who should NOT have changed one bit, following plot, is actually shifting towards another person entirely). Not worth the time.… Expand

Under every circumstance Before I Go To Sleep enters in the terrains of the thrillers where you know what will happen before it happens, unless you are so unintelligent as to understand the plot.

Forget it, this movie is forgettable.

The idea would beThis movie is a mystery thriller around a woman suffering from a rare amnesia condition due to a serious trauma and who, therefore, wakes up every day thinking she is twenty years old and not even remembering her marriage. The idea would be very interesting if it had been well developed by the script, but it didn't. As the film goes by, the villain becomes too obvious, as are the plot holes. One of the most obvious is the marriage of Christine (the name of the character, played by Nicole Kidman): if her condition of amnesia causes her to forget only the memories from a given moment of life forward, and if that moment happened when she was already married or, at least, the girlfriend of the one who would become her husband, how could she forget his face? This is just an example of a plot hole I discovered. I will not give more so I will not spoil the whole story. Kidman was OK but not amazing; Colin Firth starts slowly but improves with the film's advance; Mark Strong does a good supporting role but does not have room to do much.… Expand
