The movie has a 82% approval rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes based on 39 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "Resting its slowly twisting tale on a magnetic Andrea Riseborough performance, Here Before is a solidly unsettling effort from debuting writer-director Stacey Gregg."[7]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote a positive review, praising Stacey Gregg for "a hugely accessible and transportable technique."[8]
Kate Erbland of IndieWire gave the film C+, while praising Andrea Riseborough's performance yet describing the story as "an undercooked story".[9]
Brent Hankins of The Lamplight Review wrote "Riseborough is at the top of her game here, offering a sympathetic portrait of a woman so stricken by grief and clinging so tightly to memories of the past that she's willing to allow everything unravel around her."[10]
