Russo-Young said that Deutch and Halston did a great job of creating chemistry and authenticating real friendship. Halston said it’s “kind of her moment to be forgiven.” Halston said one of her favorite scenes for Lindsay was at the end when audiences begin to understand her vulnerability and why she treats people the way she does. “And that was a big part of the conversation that Ry and I had every day - where this meanness comes from.” “A huge part of why I fell in love with Lindsay was because you didn’t just see the stereotypical mean girl you’re used to seeing in so many high school films,” Halston said. But as the story progresses, the reasons behind who she is and what has shaped her in her past are revealed. Halston Sage’s character, Lindsay, is one of Sam’s best friends, and at first glance seems to be the classic popular girl.

“I think that the beautiful thing about Sam is that she learns that her flaws don’t define her,” Deutch said, which she said was something that spoke to her on a personal level in her own life as a middle schooler and high schooler.īut Deutch isn’t the only character on a journey to find who she is. Russo-Young said reading the script was very emotional and unexpected as she initially thought it was going to be another teen movie but found herself moved. Her journey to find herself and break free from the monotony take her on an emotional and moving journey that culminates only when her actions align to create the final right decision. Set on Valentine’s Day, which Samantha and her friends call “Cupid Day,” the teen experiences the holiday a vast number of times, changing her actions a little or a lot to find out what she must do to get things just right.

Zoey Deutch plays the main character Samantha “Sam” Kingston, who is plagued with reliving the same day over and over until she gets it right. “This isn’t just a movie for teenagers It’s actually about human beings and who we are,” Russo-Young said.ĭirected by Russo-Young, “Before I Fall” was created by Open Road Films and Awesomeness Films. Zoey Deutch, Halston Sage, and Ry Russo-Young sat down at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills the morning of Saturday, Feb.

The quest to figure out how one must live their last day alive as it’s repeated over and over until they get it right will be featured in theaters across America on March 3 in the new movie “Before I Fall.”
