What to Know

Critics Consensus

Resting its slowly twisting tale on a magnetic Andrea Riseborough performance, Here Before is a solidly unsettling effort from debuting writer-director Stacey Gregg.

Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review I was gripped by it, her quandary, and the film as a whole is really eerie. Mar 9, 2022 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) [An] inventive chiller from debut director Stacey Gregg. Rated: 3/5 Feb 28, 2022 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) Riseborough’s intensity helps sell the idea of a possible otherworldly presence, but the script is less committed, faltering with a lacklustre ending. Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2022 Full Review Erica Richards InSession Film A slow burn that is worth the wait. Rated: B+ Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Some of the ideas in Stacey Gregg’s hit-and-miss film might make you feel you have indeed been here before. Even so, the powerful eerie mood and Riseborough’s subtle performance are good enough reasons to stay on... Nov 14, 2022 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast Despite the telegraphed ending, the film overcomes its potential pitfalls thanks to the performance of Riseborough... committed to the downward spiral of Laura’s grief, perfectly capturing a woman forced to deal with the pain of old wounds reopened. Rated: 3/5 Nov 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen D New neighbours bring a young girl with whom Risboroughs character becomes fixated, having recently lost her own child. Slow with a late twist. Risborough's Northern Irish accent is impressive but the accents may prove challenging and you may need sub titles! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review The H Could've been a lot better, wasted potential with what could have been an amazing story of reincarnation. Still has entraining aspects to it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Whoever rated this more than a 3 star HAD to have gotten paid. This movie is slow, confusing, and doesn’t have a good plot until literally 10 minutes before the movie ends. And even then it’s still not clear. Terrible movie. I felt like my time was wasted Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Heather D Even though it’s slow, it’s so eerie and mysterious that it kept me completely engaged til the end. Very unpredictable ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Stefanie l Started out slow but had a good turnaround! Definitely worth a watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Donna M Ending a bit predictable but not quite on the mark. There was a twist, however no explanation for how Megam knew so much about their deceased daughter. That was left hanging and confusing. The endi g could have been done better. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
