Before

About This Movie

Before (2010) is this haunting drama that really digs into the psyche of a young man named Nacho. You can feel the weight of his despair as the film unfolds. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, mirroring Nacho’s emotional state. It’s not your typical coming-of-age story; instead, it’s a deep dive into loss and isolation. The performances are raw, especially the lead, who manages to convey so much with just his expressions. There’s a palpable sense of melancholy throughout, and the atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and regret. The practical effects and minimalistic approach to cinematography really enhance the emotional impact. It feels real, gritty, and unpolished in the best way, leaving a lingering feeling long after it ends.
