7/10
Superb Drama!!!!!
8 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The life before her eyes, as the title suggest is the depiction of ones life flashing through in a millisecond but the way it was projected in this film is so dramatic and thoughtful that one cant seem to forget about this movies even after watching it more than one time.

This is the story of friendship, parenting, relationships, everything what life is all about and all these elements are placed in this film so well and interconnected that the viewers are indulged in the characters.

"The strongest muscle in the body is the heart" physically but heart at the same time is the weakest muscle of all if seen emotionally and this film present this bitter reality of life, dramatically if not emotionally, to the viewers excellently.

Directed by Vadim Perelman (his second film) known for exceptionally superb "The house of Sand & Fog", though not very strong as the later, this shows the talent, perception and a vision this man has. From the cast the best performance comes from Evan Rachel Wood who plays the main role and believe me this girl has a lot of talent to become a superstar actor in the near future.

Back ground music was very typical with this kind of movies, but with the concept, the drama & the intrigue this movie has, you tend to forget about that.

Thats all and I would definitely recommend this movie to all looking for a serious, dramatic & emotional treat. A 7/10 for "The life before her eyes"
