Everything Before Us (2015)

Please don't spend money on this.

Excellent adaptation.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I was shocked it was at 7 but I realize it's ONLY from the first 3 seconds of their youtube intro *bing* WongFuThe most overplayed cliches played out in what felt like a dragged out version of one of their youtube shorts. Things like this are meant for a short. I get that people are blinded by their name rather than watching the movie for what it is. Call us haters but the movie was bad.

In a world where relationships are documented, and break ups accounted for, people are judged by their DEI score. The Department of Emotional Integrity is the center of it all, where everything about a person's relationship is documented. From Wong Fu Productions, one can expect nothing less than a play on emotions and heartbreak. Known for their masterful shorts on YouTube, Wong Fu has done well in managing to produce their first feature film. Having subscribed to Wong Fu for a couple of years already, I can see that this film is characteristic of a Wong Fu short. There's great cinematography and editing (props to the rest of the Wong Fu crew), but the characters are especially a Wong Fu feature. Each character has a certain vulnerability to them that makes audiences sympathize with. This is what makes Wong Fu videos so special, because they are able to bring out those characteristics that make us human. Furthermore, the acting cast did well in their roles. I was actually surprised by Yoo's performance, mainly because I wasn't expecting a lot as I haven't seen him before. But, he was probably the character who held the most weight in the film as it progressed. Ishibashi is believable as a striving to-be owner of a bakery and the chemistry between her and Yoo is credible. Soo Hoo and Park's puppy love is cute but cringe worthy at times. They seem a little too mellow at the beginning, but their chemistry really kicked in when some arguments emerged. Or maybe it was just because they are pretty mellow characters to begin with, as in they're too nice and submissive - especially Haley. Other than some awkward times between the couples, the acting was great. I really like how the YouTube community supports each other; as was shown by the appearance of many different YouTubers in the film. For example: Chris Riedell, Joanna Sotomura, Megan Batoon, Justin James Hughes, and Lana McKissack. Overall, this is definitely a creative concept. The relationships were well developed and the acting did the characters justice. Editing, directing, and cinematography all came together to produce a film worthy of Wong Fu productions.

I won't spoil nothing that Netflix summary wouldn't already give away.I thought the concept of a public Agency meddling in our affairs and overstepping boundaries in this word was kinda original and interesting, but it could've been better executed maybe. I mean..dude. Gattaca..now that was blockbuster ya know. rating ppl based on their DNA (valids and invalids)I did see a lot of familiar faces. I don't even know what or who "WF" is, as one altruistic industry reviewer refers to, but even I noticed some biased casting here. Don't we hear so much gripe about Hollywood being bias and stuff, this is blatantly bias. The couples had no Chemistry shown. moments, were just bleh and awkward looking. -- high school play? Ben was believable... he seemed into her (i almost thought he was Leonardo Nam from the Perfect score all grown up but hmm...IMDb proved me wrong). I watched it to the very end, so it was OK.

First I didn't pay for it, I illegally downloaded it. I personally don't feel like they should have charged for it considering the amount of donations they got from their fans. I like chick flicks, but this movie was terrible I'm glad I didn't pay for it.The movie had really bad actors, the only good one was the guy who played the DEI agent. It was stupid and corny. It is set in the future where in order to have a relationship you must register with the department of emotional integrity. Whats to stop somebody from not registering a relationship? Absolutely nothing! They gave no explanation of how the system was designed or whats to stop somebody from not registering. I could have gotten over that part, but the actors were terrible!! So you have no story and no good actors.It was stupid and I'm glad I didn't pay for it as stated in the first paragraph.
