	Author	Review
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"At the moment 'Before I Go To Sleep' looks like this year's grand-prize winner for Most Befuddling Narrative Structure"	NEG
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"The good news is that Rowan Joffe’s adaptation of S.J. Watson’s 2011 publishing phenom is far from a snooze; the bad news is that it’s the film’s escalating, po-faced ludicrousness that holds our attention."	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"If it weren't for the diligent performances of its stars (...) 'Before I Go to Sleep' would be an unwatchable, titter-inducing catastrophe"	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"This decidedly average psychological thriller represents a missed opportunity."	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"'Before I Go to Sleep' feels like a recurring nightmare - the kind you wake up from and wonder why you dream in clichés (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"As a thriller this is perfectly effective, but (...) something about Kidman's blank, frosty performance is unconvincing (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
