“Everything Before Us” paints a refreshing new picture of old expressions like, “Love will prevail.” It’s not the typical mushy-gushy type of chick-flick we have all come to expect, either. For those of you who aren’t usually the one to reach for a romantic movie, don’t judge too quickly! This one makes you think.
In a future where the government quantifies love and judges people based on their relationship score, “Everything Before Us” teaches plenty of valuable lessons. The movie tries to show that love is not something that can or should be monitored or controlled. Love is hard, and people are supposed to make mistakes. But the movie also reminds us that, in the face of the rest of the world, love is powerful.
I highly recommend this movie to those who enjoy something both entertaining and thought-provoking, even if it is wrapped up in a romantic film.
