Alien at the Movies

Before I️ Go

Samantha (Annabella Sciorra) is a lost woman questioning what she has done with her life & where she is headed. She is a loner & seems to be antagonistic towards everyone. She is a former aspiring singer/musician, but now working at menial jobs. Her aging father (Robert Klein) is a hoarder with difficulties decluttering. She has mommy issues. This comedy/drama is slow paced & Samantha is not a very likable character. She is that train wreck that you can’t look away from. But if you like quirkiness, this independent film has it in spades. Plus it has that New York City charm. I️ weirdly enjoyed following Samantha’s journey & hoping for some better change in her life.

Alien gives it 3 “lessons from an earthworm” stars out of 4.
