Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Before Dawn earns its spot. The writing in Before Dawn treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. After leaving his family's sheep farm in the Australian outback, a young man joins his countrymen on the western front of World War I with hopes of helping expedite an end to the bloody conflict. But as war rages on, he is forced to grapple with the brutal realities of trench warfare, including a near-constant battle to keep himself alive—without leaving another man behind. Inspired by the real-life diary entries of local ANZACs, the feature film details the untold story of some of Australia’s greatest military victories. Levi Miller and Travis Jeffery lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. It hit screens in 2024. Before Dawn resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Before Dawn. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history.
