Before long, Laura’s memories turn to obsession as Megan’s unsettling behaviour begins to convince her of something supernatural.

The Irish Times

Andrea Riseborough (is) a contender for the best actor of her generation...

Screen Daily

For all the brooding setup and the swirling mists of mystery... the picture is underserved by its final act.

Hollywood Reporter

This wintry, unsettling drama... marks a distinctive and impressive debut for writer-director Stacey Gregg...

Slant Magazine

Gregg’s feature-length directorial debut is a by and large tightly controlled work...

Variety

Here Before keeps us off guard, and all the more awake because of it.

Film Threat

Here Before will unnerve and disturb you as much as it will paint a vivid depiction of grief that reflects parental fears.

RogerEbert.com

[Gregg] shows a great deal of visual confidence, especially in telling a disorienting story in a domestic setting.

IndieWire

While Gregg offers a cheeky sense of what it really means to gaslight someone, no one will feel as injured by the film's final-act choices than its audience.

Film School Rejects

The slow twists and turns of Stacey Gregg's Here Before are almost radical in their treatment of grief on screen.

Slash Film

Gregg delivers an intoxicating and impressive directorial debut.
