Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

gbkmmaurstad Christine (Nicole Kidman) suffers from amnesia and literally can not remember one day to the next. As her husband Ben (Colin Firth) explains, she was in a car accident and suffered brain damage. In attempt to further her progress neuropsychologist, Dr. Nasch Mark Strong) gives her a video camera to record her thoughts of the day. He calls her each morning to remind her who he is, why he is calling, where to find the camera, what to do with it and then discuss any memories she has retained. I like psychological thrillers and thought with Nicole Kidman playing the lead it would be a better than average film, I was wrong. It is not the best or the worst thriller I've seen, but it is a bit average. It is good enough to watch on Halloween if you don't plan to go out or watch as a group for a who-done-it game night. Not for young viewers adult themes.

onirikesin It 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

Jul Zar Before I go to sleep has been on my watchlist for a few years now. Last week I watched another movie with Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman in the leading roles. I really enjoyed their chemistry. Perhaps that's why I think the story-line and their acting adds up to the suspense of a good thriller, mystery and drama movie. I've read some recent reviews and in my opinion this movie is underrated. I haven't read the book so I don't know if the makers intended it to be as grim as it is. I do think that the gloominess of the weather and the characters are of added value to this movie. The character of Christine is confused as soon as she opens up her eyes and sees her world every morning. As much as I would like to forget my life most times, I wouldn't like to wake up and remembering absolutely nothing of the past 20 years. Including the house I'm in and the man sleeping next to me. I can imagine her anxiety very well. Her being played by Nicole Kidman and her having a rather emotionless visage, it was hard for me to read the expressions on her face. I did enjoy the roles and expressions of Colin Firth and Mark Strong. What I most look for in a movie with the genres of Mystery and Thriller are characters that surprise me. Who aren't what they seem to be. And in this flick some characters get another plot turn. 9 Out of 10 for me, because the last 5-10 minutes were too slow. Enjoy the watch, it's a good one!

lor_ Two highly successful films I hate are "Memento" and "Groundhog Day", for wildly different reasons, but both falling way short of what I consider a good film. The atrocious "Before I Go to Sleep" blends elements of both in a disastrous fashion.Even if this film were believable (it's not) or engrossing (far from it), its use of red herrings is unforgivable. Halfway through we have a fake scene pointing guilt at our heroine's empathetic doctor, and that's immediately revealed to be a false lead. Flashback structure is irrelevant to the story, and the resolution of the mysteries leads to a sickly sentimental finish.Actors of the caliber of Kidman & Firth are attracted to such slop by virtue of challenging roles -and the challenge unfortunately derives from these roles being unplayable. On most TV series, and in traditional Hollywood during the factory system, there is either a writers' table or conference or some mechanism to sound out before shooting begins the psychology of why characters do what they do, so that an audience can believe it. Certainly viewers are naturally gullible -that is part of what cinema relies upon, but apparently no one checked or double checked whether the premise of this stupid story could hold water when dropped on the viewer in the first few expository scenes. The more complicated a thriller is, the more difficult to avoid plot holes and contradictions- even the most successful recent thriller GONE GIRL was loaded with mistakes and poor script devices during the latter reels when the fabricated story unraveled and was replaced by "what really happened". But with lousy films like "Sleep" the most basic elements are utter rubbish, right from the git go.
