Benyam E Poetic and profound dialog, enchanting couple. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Winsy Winsky W A beautiful, quiet film that captures the magic of a chance connection. Before Sunrise is all about the conversations—natural, thoughtful, and honest. It doesn’t rely on big plot twists or drama, just two people wandering through a city and getting to know each other. The chemistry between the leads is effortless, and the film does a great job showing how meaningful one night can be. It’s simple but powerful—definitely one of those films that stays with you. If you enjoy dialogue-driven stories and subtle emotion, this one’s worth your time.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Tarek A I have always wanted to watch this unique trilogy set a decade apart. I finally started with my beloved. This is quite a sad and haunting movie. A single night can seem magical and timeless, the eternal passion and promise of youthful love, and the desire to hold onto that one magical moment at the expense of a great risk. The dialog and discussions between the masterful leads, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy seem effortless and natural, flowing like they truly know each other, and we are witnesses to a rare moment of two souls coming together. Their exploration of men, women, romance, fate, society, and expectations is all pertinent and as meaningful in 1994 as it is today - timeless questions. Their sadness as the night comes to a close is like throat choking. You know this moment won't last; you can't capture lightning in a bottle. It has to be let go of to have any meaning. I don't think the director or actors realized they would make a sequel a decade later. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Wallace M SIMPLESMENTE O MELHOR ROMANCE QUE JÁ ASSISTI O filme é uma troca sincera de conversa, pensamentos e sentimentos entre os dois protagonistas que vai escalando de forma lenta e natural sem nenhuma pressa para chegar no clímax. A fotografia é trabalhada de modo que transparece a relação entre eles além das inúmeras troca de olhares que deixa tudo ainda mais sincero. Por mais que seja um pouco estereotipado o Jesse é um típico estadunidense que pensa muito em si e com falas "problemáticas", por assim dizer, e a Celine é uma francesa apaixonada por artes. É muito legal ver como eles são honestos um com o outro e consigo mesmo durante as conversas que ao decorrer do dia vão se tornando cada vez mais profundas e ambos se mostram interessados em descobrir mais do outro. O que eu levo desse filme é que hoje em dia a gente pensa que precisa de uma semana ou um mês para conhecer uma pessoa, ou pelo menos criar uma conexão, mas na verdade dá para fazer tudo isso mais um pouco em menos de 24 horas se ambas as partes estiverem realmente dispostas a se conhecer de verdade e de forma sincera. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review STU L I recently watched this film again on video and gained a deeper appreciation for it than I had previously. I noticed how genuine the dialogue seemed, as if we were observing a real conversation rather than one that was designed to advance the plot. It brought back memories of a similar encounter I had with a young woman I met during my student days when I travelled through Europe. Knowing I was unlikely to return, we did not exchange addresses. In short, I consider this to be the greatest screen romance of all time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
