Most of the storyline was good. But the scenes of the grandmother were too many and too long. I wish a lot of that junk hadn't even been in the movie at all! There should have been WAY more scenes of the budding romance and a lot more questions answered. Why was Ben's wife in a wheelchair and how did she die? Why was the crib in the room? Was she pregnant when she died? Rachel was supposed to be having extensive physical therapy while staying with Grandma. What happened to that? The last half of the movie went into hyper drive and was rushed, after the first part drug on too slow with all those "grandma talking to dead grandpa" scenes. The end left so many unanswered questions. How did Rachel and Ben get back together? It would have been so much better if the focus was off grandma, and the story went on with Ben refusing to leave Rachel's side after she took a sudden turn for the worse, even though she asked him to go. The last half of the movie could have been focused on Rachel's slow recovery with Ben right by her side. That would have been a much better ending to the story. The actors were excellent and it's a shame the storyline just fizzled out.

I don't understand all the hate for this movie. I read the other reviews and was shocked. If you don't like Christian films, don't watch them. We all know that Christian movies are not going to be like big budget Hollywood films. They're low budget, shot on a shoestring, basically a labor of love. Before All Others isn't as polished as other films and there were a few hiccups here and there. But that said, I really enjoyed it. The story was entertaining, the actors were good, especially the grandmother. So ignore the reviews, mine included and watch Before All Others and make up your own mind. :)
