Leave your thoughts about Before I Disappear.
| Film ThreatAmy R. HandlerThe script is beautifully written with realistic dialogue that never misses a beat. Each actor works in sync with the others and all are outstanding. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MoorePtacek, as she was in the short, makes a great foil. And the addition of Rossum and Perlman to the cast adds pathos and paranoia, guilt and menace. |
| Paste MagazineDavid RoarkThe result is a dark yet poignant drama about depression and drug addiction captured in both form and content, as Christensen creates a surreal, melancholic tone through lighting and camerawork. |
| Fan The FireSam BatheBefore I Disappear shows a lot of promise for the cast and actor/writer/director Christensen. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiAlthough Before I Disappear bears the undeniable stamp of padding, Christensen wisely expands on the kaleidoscopic energy of the short, not its formulaic underpinnings. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Emily SearsFor all its dark humor and dire situations, Before I Disappear conveys that a little forgiveness and a little time with someone who cares can bring a little hope before it's too late. |
| NPRTomas HachardBefore I Disappear is ultimately hampered not by a messy plot but by bland characters who, for the most part, don't so much talk to each other as they monologue at each other. |
| IndiewireEric KohnBefore I Disappear features several moments of genuine emotion in an otherwise underwhelming plot involving the main character coming out of his shell. It's a heartfelt journey, but we've seen it before, without the excess distractions. |
| The PlaylistKimber MyersIsn't a bad freshman effort, but it doesn't offer anything to set it apart from dozens of other indie dramedies. |
| Slant MagazineNick PriggeEven at its most compelling, it remains inconsistent and superfluous, a lesson that sometimes a movie can feel more fully formed in 19 minutes rather than 90. |
