“Before I Fall” (**1/2 out of four) was an imperfect but compelling story about a high-school teenager (Zoey Deutch) who finds herself in a time loop a la “Groundhog Day” living the same day over and over again in which her and her friends go to a party and are involved in a deadly crash but she tries to change fate and change their consequences and learn the true meaning of her life and making every day count. As is the case with many of these time-loop movies, the story starts to get repetitive and never shifts into high gear but it keeps its grip thanks to Deutch’s first-rate performance and some striking touches from director Ry Russo-Young and cinematographer Michael Fimognari. Adam Taylor’s haunting music score is another definite plus.
