Thoughts: Were it not for co-star Colin Firth dropping out as the voice of the holiday release Paddington, Before I Go to Sleep would be the third movie the actor appeared in with Nicole Kidman in less than a year. After teaming on The Railway Man, Kidman (Stoker) and Firth (Magic in the Moonlight) are featured in this thriller adapted from a novel that feels like the female answer to Memento. As much as I love a good suspense film, too much of the preview hints at the twists and turns in store for audiences, never a good sign for a genre that benefits from genuine surprise. Still…even though she makes some strange choices in projects I can’t help but enjoy Kidman and no one does wide-eyed terror/confusion quite like she does.
