Before I Go to Sleep

Before I Go to Sleep (2014) is a British psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Rowan Joffe adapted S. J. Watson's bestselling novel into a tense study of memory, trust, and manipulation, with Nicole Kidman in the lead role.

Christine wakes up every morning with no memory of the past two decades. A stranger tells her he is her husband — played by Colin Firth. A doctor, played by Mark Strong, calls her in secret and urges her to keep a hidden journal. Day by day, entries pile up. The picture they paint of her own life doesn't match what she's being told.

The film lives in the genre of domestic paranoia: its horror is not a monster but total dependence on the people around you. Joffe keeps the tension tightly domestic, building dread out of ordinary rooms and quiet conversations. Stream Before I Go to Sleep (2014) online on iFILM.
