Audience Reviews for Before I Disappear

Oct 03, 2015

Excellent. This is such an awesome film. It's heartbreaking, dark, hilarious, and inspiring, all at once. I love Before I Disappear.

The narrative is completely overwrought with unnecessary plot lines and loose ends, but triple-threat Shawn Christensen knows what points to hit hard and hit them hard he does.
