The Life Before Her Eyes is a 2007 psychological drama directed by Vadim Perelman, based on the novel of the same name by Laura Kasischke. The film stars Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood, portraying the same character at different stages of her life.
The story unfolds in two timelines, alternating between the present and the past. In the present, Diana (played by Uma Thurman) is an adult woman dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event that occurred during her high school years. The traumatic incident involved a school shooting, and Diana, along with her best friend Maureen (played by Evan Rachel Wood), faced life-threatening situations.
As the film progresses, it becomes apparent that the adult Diana is haunted by the events of the past, and she grapples with guilt and survivor's remorse. The narrative explores themes of memory, identity, and the profound impact of choices made during crucial moments.
