Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Faiz D Being a big fan of both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, I was truly thrilled to see this new chapter of Jesse and Celine's relationship. Everything's better with maturity and this is simply brilliant film making: funny, raw, complicated, emotionally and uncomfortably honest and painfully heartfelt. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Peter J The first movie was pretty good, this movie is horrible. Endless endless endless meaningless dialogue. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That was a recap of the entire movie. NOTHING HAPPENS, just words that go nowhere, mean nothing. I would have said spoiler alert but there is nothing to spoil Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review William B A perfect third part for this series. To be honest, in the beginning I thought it would be a disaster (like many directors make to close a trilogy) but this one was perfect. It ended in the best possible way. Recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Birithivy Y Before Midnight - 8/10. Richard Linklater makes his third film in the Before series with Before Midnight, a movie that follows Celine and Jesse into marriage and post parent life. Its an interesting movie, but, one that feels very different from Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Its a movie that is real just like the first two films, but, is real and raw in the pain and anger that a married couple might have. As a huge fan of the first two films, it was a little disappointing to see the two characters fighting and bickering for much of the movie. Its a darker film than the first two movies, focusing on conflict and marital issues. As a hopeless romantic, I really wanted to see a movie of the two happily married and just enjoying a trip in southern Europe. But it ends up being an uncomfortable watch. Mind you though, the movie is still awesome, but it pales in comparison to the first two in my opinion. Its the most emotional film in the trilogy, in terms of the heat of the anger shown on screen. If you loved the first two films, you might not like this movie. But, its still a great time seeing these two amazing characters back in a story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Hao Ian L Linklater's decision for a more formalistic style of storytelling in contrast to the previous installments though it may seem foreign, feels much more appealing and enjoyable. Before Midnight takes a more realistic and sometimes cynical approach to love, and if there's one thing Linklater does right it's the realistic portrayal of character development in the trilogy. With the growth and passage of time comes higher stakes and thus a more mature dialogue, which is perfectly shown in both sequels.
