 Don't read this cause I'm giving stuff away! January 3, 2009
I loved the movie and thought it was great up until the end and that sucked for me because I don't have a clue what happened and I still don't. It would be great if someone would post on here what the heck really happened. Put a warning on the review or something. All along I'm thinking Diana lived and the other got shot and then Diana gets shot in the bathroom so what was the whole Diana as an adult with a husband and baby Emma that she aborted! I don't get it and I was so mad when it ended. Because if the other one lived then it would have been her life they were showing. I'm just assuming it was some things young Diana was thinking as she was dying that never even happened. Who knows! Otherwise the movie was really really good!
 What would YOU do when death comes knocking? December 27, 2008
This movie is based on a novel by the same name written by Laura Kasischke. The novel is beautifully written so i hoped that the movie would live up to it and it does!
The movie is visually stunning, the colors are vivid which set a dreamy mood and the shots are beautifully choreographed. Uma Therman does a great job with the role of the grown-up Diana, definitely testing her dramatic skills. The role of young Diana is played by Evan Rachel Wood who carries the weight of the movie on her shoulders and does a great job with it.
I do not want to give away the story but the movie is well worth watching, it is an emotional roller-coaster that begs the question:
"What would you do in the face of death?"
 A Deceptive Loser December 2, 2008
Both my wife and I felt cheated at the end of this movie, like detective who'd wasted his time following a false lead. Sure, it might be interesting while it is happening, but what is the point when it is all for naught? Don't expect any satisfying feeling after watching this deceptive loser.

I enjoyed this movie--I guess most did not--it came and went to the movie theater so quickly I never even heard of it till it went on to DVD.
This is a real ""thinkers'' movie--I had to watch it 2 times to understand the ending which really explains the whole movie.....
No big action--except the school shoot out--but an excellent plot
A Surreal Portrait . . . September 22, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Life Before Her Eyes is a chilling portrait of a high school student gone mad, leaving devastation in his wake.
Evan Rachel Wood portrays Diana, a wild girl who relishes using bad language and meting out her own brand of justice, while her best friend Maureen, played by Eva Amurri, serves as the moral compass. While blithely enjoying their day, the two hole up in the school bathroom, chatting and fixing their makeup -- and then shots ring out.
From this point forward, the movie plays out in a series of flash-forward, flashback vignettes -- we see the two girls swimming, diving, hanging out; and then we see the adult version of Diana, taking her daughter Emma to school, glancing nervously at a sign over the local high school announcing a 15-year memorial of the tragedy -- a haunting day when a boy fired into a school, destroying lives.
Several versions of the teenage girls' final moments are played out, with the killer asking them to choose which one will die.
What seems like a normal life for the adult version of Diana soon has us asking several questions: Which girl actually died on that fateful day? What constitutes reality and what is actually fantasy? Is everything only a flashing of "life before her eyes" and is nothing real at all?
The viewer must decide the answers to these questions. But no matter what conclusions you reach, this movie will haunt you for some time to come.
