The Life Before Her Eyes

Diana (Uma Thurman) is a suburban wife and mother who begins to question her seemingly perfect life—and perhaps her sanity—on the 15th anniversary of a tragic high school shooting that took the life of her best friend. In flashbacks, Diana is a vibrant high schooler (Evan Rachel Wood) who, with her shy best friend Maureen (Eva Amurri), plot typical teenage strategies—cutting class, fantasizing about boys—and vow to leave their sleepy suburb at the first opportunity.

 

The older Diana, however, is haunted by the increasingly strained relationship she had with Maureen as the day of the school shooting approached. These memories disrupt the idyllic life she's now leading with her professor husband Paul (Pierce Brosnan) and their young daughter Emma (Gabrielle Brennan). As older Diana's life begins to unravel and younger Diana gets closer and closer to the fatal day, a deeper mystery slowly unravels. Based on the best-selling novel by Laura Kasischke.
