Before My Heart Falls (French: Avant que mon cœur bascule) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Sébastien Rose and released in 2012.

[1] The film centres on Sarah (Clémence Dufresne-Deslières), a young con artist who regularly fakes a crisis on the side of the road so that she can rob men who stop to help her; however, after one of her cons results in a man's accidental death, she befriends the man's grieving widow Françoise (Sophie Lorain) while simultaneously trying to maintain her relationship with her crime boss Ji-Guy (Sébastien Ricard).

[4] Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette gave the film a mixed review, praising Dufresne-Deslières's performance as a "force of nature" but concluding that the film ultimately "just doesn't have the emotional punch it should have".

[5] The film received two Prix Jutra nominations at the 15th Jutra Awards in 2013, for Best Supporting Actor (Ricard) and Best Supporting Actress (Lorain).
