Before I Go to Sleep

About This Movie

Before I Go to Sleep is a strange little gem that really digs into the human psyche. The film tells the story of a young couple facing the harsh realities of homelessness just as their child is about to arrive. It’s heavy on atmosphere, capturing that sense of despair but also the flickers of hope. Pacing is deliberate, giving you time to soak in their plight. The performances are raw and genuine, painting a vivid picture of anxiety and vulnerability. I’d say it’s distinctive for its unflinching look at the emotional turmoil of starting a family under dire circumstances, all while navigating the uncertain future. The practical effects, though subtle, contribute to the unsettling tone throughout.
