WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Christine (Kidman) suffers from anterograde amnesia, meaning that whatever she did the previous day she has no memory of when she wakes the next morning.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Before I Go To Sleep is a tense psychological thriller that not only provokes good memories of similar films like Memento, but also waltzes with the ideas of trust and deception, all from the perspective of an amnesiac.
