Before You Know It Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"Before You Know It" isn't without its moments, but it could have used more of them. Sometimes it's a slog.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Before You Know It shifts seamlessly from quirky to sad to mysterious to wacky to surreal within just the space of a few days, so much so that you'd never know it's director Hannah Pearl Utt's feature filmmaking debut.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Before You Know It" isn't a deep movie, or a hilarious one, and Utt and Tullock probably don't expect it to be. But it is, in its undemanding, almost effortless way, warm and wise and watchable enough to be just this side of wonderful.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
The multi-hyphenate and her partner Jen Tullock craft the kind of indie offering that doesn't always work anymore, but this strange family comedy is an amusing exception.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Before You Know It feels like it fell out of the mid-Eighties -- and that's not a bad thing. In the tradition of Mystic Pizza or Moscow on the Hudson, it finds its humor in the light and shade of its characters, with the odd broader gag.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
A charming and quirky New York tale, if a bit disorganized, finding its voice when it quiets down to just listen to the three women at the center of the story.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
[Hannah Pearl Utt] has a deft hand as a director here, as well as an actress.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Wise, witty, and richly specific in its evocation of a family limping along on a wobbly foundation of secrets and lies.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Seekers of Manhattan stories that don't occur in skyscrapers and corridors of power could do worse.
TheWrap
Dan Callahan
Before its conclusion the ungainly Before You Know It has collapsed under the weight of all it is trying to do.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
A noteworthy work from an upcoming dynamic duo, co-writers Hannah Pearl Utt and Jen Tullock, who have a chemistry that you want to see in more films, especially if they're like Before You Know It.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
It's hard to care about the nice characters who somewhat improbably put up with wildly insufferable ones. There's some invention and good humor here, yet the whole feels inorganic.
The Hollywood Reporter
Beandrea July
A lighthearted and engrossing family drama.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Amid some clichés and contrivances, empowered women find a fresh perspective in this sharply observed and consistently amusing saga of family dysfunction.
San Diego CityBeat
Glenn Heath Jr.
Utt's charming, self-deprecating ensemble is an effortless screwball throwback that loves its characters no matter their flaws.
Gay City News
Gary M. Kramer
[T]he characters in "Before You Know It" are not in a situation comedy, but rather a frustration comedy. This film, co-written and directed by Utt, never lives up to its potential. Few of the jokes land, and it come alive only in its big dramatic moments.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Sprawling with too many sub-plots to sink your teeth into its main theme of overcoming dark family secrets.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Utt and Tullock's screenplay avoids ... broad strokes. They would rather find the humor in these deep but frayed relationships ... [and] these flawed but decent characters...
Should I See It
Michael Ward
The performances are all top notch.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
This isn't a slight picture, but a carefully considered one, with deep emotion under its sitcom-ready plot.
