Here Before (2021)
2/10
If I was asked to sum it up in one word it word be...laborious.

I like Andrea Riseborough she is a much underrated actress, but I suspect that's because she does not know how to choose great films that suit her.

This film is definitely not a great film. It's not even a good film. In fact it's a pretty poor film on many levels.

The filming is poor with too much contrast and not enough light. It actually makes you feel miserable.

The dialogue is patchy and lacking any real interest, and more times than I cared to count you can't actually hear what's being said.

The score was I thought entirely appropriate for a deep, meaningful, dark sci fi movie. It does not work at all on this film.

The pace is tragically slow. There are scenes that are drawn out and I can't for the life of me see why. They don't even add value to the film. It's a long, drawn out dreary story that ends in a sudden anti-climax.

All in all there's little to recommend with this film except if you are genuinely interested in seeing the mechanics of a bad film and how not to do it, watch this, it's a perfect example of how not to make films.
