Before I Disappear

Before I Disappear (2014) is a US-British drama — watch online on iFILM. Writer-director Shawn Christensen also stars as Richie, a man who has bottomed out so completely that his day starts with a suicide attempt. Then his estranged sister calls: someone needs to pick up eleven-year-old niece Sophia from school. Just for a few hours.

Those hours unspool into a night-long drift through New York City. Sophia (Fatima Ptacek) is sharper than Richie expects, and more alone than anyone around her realizes. Two people who have no business saving each other end up doing exactly that. Emmy Rossum, Ron Perlman, and Richard Schiff round out the cast. Quiet, sharp, and genuinely felt.
