A slow burn that is worth the wait.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 8, 2024

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

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

Overall, there is undoubtedly a firm hand guiding this story, but its assemblage is not consistent enough in quality to be thoroughly intriguing.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 8, 2022

Riseborough goes from grief-stricken to obsessive in a minute, while the haunting score by Adam Janota Bzowski makes everything feel slightly more disturbing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2022

An interesting take on grief and deception that fluctuates between ghost story and psychological thriller.

| Mar 20, 2022

I was gripped by it, her quandary, and the film as a whole is really eerie.

| Mar 9, 2022

Here Before steadily builds an intimate yet uneasy world, with great supporting performances all round. Unfortunately the twist ending leaves things feeling a little flat.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2022

Remarkably assured.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2022

[An] inventive chiller from debut director Stacey Gregg.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 28, 2022

Here Before can’t decide if it wants to be an ambiguous drama about grief or a rug-pulling horror freak-out. Unfortunately, in trying to be both, Stacey Gregg’s debut satisfies neither impulse.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2022

While not entirely satisfying, this moody and disquieting drama holds attention, largely thanks to the always-interesting Riseborough.

| Feb 22, 2022

Most films with Andrea Riseborough in are worth catching, and Here Before is no exception.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 22, 2022

Here Before is a mystery that doesnt pan out as spectacularly as it could but its unique enough to be worth the nail-biting journey.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 22, 2022

Riseborough’s intensity helps sell the idea of a possible otherworldly presence, but the script is less committed, faltering with a lacklustre ending.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 20, 2022

This isn’t the fully-fledged piece of work that more time and money would probably have enabled it to be, but there’s a lot to like.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2022

Riseborough anchors the piece brilliantly playing a woman carrying a sadness so intense it cannot be expressed.​​

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2022

Gregg is a storyteller still finding her feet. But what a pleasure it is to make her acquaintance. She’s here today, going places tomorrow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2022

Well worth seeing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2022

While the characters themselves are experiencing an uncanny dj vu, so are the audience, who may find that they cant quite shake the feeling theyve seen all this before.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2022
