  The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)

description written by member Zara:

Oscar-nominee Uma Thurman plays a suburban wife and mother who begins to question her seemingly perfect life and perhaps her sanity on the 15th anniversary of a tragic high school shooting that took the life of her best friend. In flashbacks, Diana is a vibrant high schooler (played by Evan Rachel Wood of THIRTEEN and THE UPSIDE OF ANGER) who, with her shy best friend Maureen, plot typical teenage strategies, cutting class, fantasizing about boys and vow to leave their sleepy suburb at the first opportunity. The older Diana, however, is haunted by the increasingly strained relationship she had with Maureen as day of the school shooting approached. These memories disrupt the idyllic life she's now leading with her professor husband Paul and their young daughter Emma. As older Diana's life begins to unravel and younger Diana gets closer and closer to the fatal day, a deeper mystery slowly unravels. Based on the best-selling novel by Laura Kasischke.

The Life Before Her Eyes Movie Review by Zara (9/15/2008)

If I were to ruin the movie for you, I suppose I could mention that it wants to emulate M. Night an awful lot. That would be enough said right there and if you know enough about that director, then you should understand plenty right off the bat about this movie.

However, rather than being totally hokey and sub-par, the...
