Before I Fall
    2017-03-08  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    Adapted from Lauren Oliver’s novel of the same name, this film is directed by Ry Russo-Young.

    The story is about a popular high school senior caught in a time loop that forces her to relive a crucial* day in her life over and over.

    The story takes place in the Pacific Northwest in a rich, mountainous community where everyone seems to live in hilltop mansions* with forest views.

    Seventeen-year-old Samantha “Sam” Kingston (Zoey Deutch) wakes up just before 7 a.m., expecting that this February 12, known as Cupid Day at her school, will be an exciting one. She is planning to lose her virginity* to her boyfriend Rob (Kian Lawley) at a party that night, an event much anticipated* not just by Sam but also by her besties* with whom she goes everywhere, a mean-girl quartet* that also includes top-dog Lindsay (Halston Sage), secret brainiac* Ally (Cynthy Wu) and wild party girl Elody (Medalion Rahimi).

    But the party, held at the temporarily* parent-free home of Kent McFuller (Logan Miller), a boy whom Sam was once close to back in elementary school, doesn’t go as planned.

    It looks like Rob will be too drunk to perform, and the party is invaded* by Juliet Sykes (Elena Kampouris), a social outcast* whom Sam’s clique* bullies*. An argument with Juliet, which ends up with everyone throwing their drinks at her, turns out to be a bit of a buzz kill* and the girls leave. While driving home in Lindsay’s SUV, the car hits something, turns over and it seems they are all killed.

    But thanks to some strange magic that’s never explained, per time-loop-story tradition, Sam wakes up again back in her own bed and discovers it is once again February 12.

    The cycle keeps repeating no matter what steps Sam takes to avoid the car accident. If she keeps all her friends home from Kent’s party, she still ends up back in her own bed on the morning of the 12th. Whether she’s rude to everyone or nice as pie to friends, family and the other kids, it still happens. It’s only once she realizes that her fate might be tied to that of another person in danger that night that some hope appears of ending the Sisyphean grind* of repeating the day forever.
