Description: Before I Fall is a 2017 film that follows the story of Samantha Kingston, who wakes up on February 12, known as Cupid’s Day. She is picked up by her friends, Lindsay, Ally, and Elody, who are excited about Sam’s plans to lose her virginity to her boyfriend, Rob, that evening. During a class lecture on Sisyphus, students exchange roses, and Sam receives one from Rob and another from Kent McFuller, a former childhood friend who has feelings for her. Kent invites her to a party at his house, but she shows little interest. At lunch, the girls mock Juliet Sykes, an outsider they label as a “psycho.” Later, at the party, Juliet unexpectedly appears, leading to a confrontation with Lindsay. The fight escalates, and Juliet is humiliated when other guests pour beer on her. As Sam and her friends drive away from the party, their car crashes, seemingly resulting in their deaths.
However, Sam wakes up in her room on Cupid’s Day again, believing the previous day was just a nightmare. She relives the day only to find herself in another crash, though it happens slightly later. Realizing she is trapped in a time loop, Sam tries to change the course of events by convincing her friends to skip the party and have a sleepover instead. While they avoid the crash, they later learn that Juliet has taken her own life. Sam also discovers that Juliet and Lindsay were once close friends. Despite avoiding the accident, Sam continues to relive the same day repeatedly. Understanding that her actions seem futile, she begins to act impulsively—first by expressing her frustrations with those around her, then by focusing on spending meaningful time with loved ones.
