MOVIE REVIEW
Before I Go to Sleep (2014)
Nicole Kidman spends the bulk of “Before I Go to Sleep” in a state of high anxiety, although only an audience prepared to leave all skepticism at the door will be able to say the same. Despite the best efforts of Colin Firth to seem mysterious and Mark Strong to inspire trust – so a bit of a stretch for both of them – what vitality there is in the film comes from Ms. Kidman’s cowering, shrieking and panicking; and even that’s not really the actor’s strong suit.
