Collem T Very rare to have excellent sequels to legendary movies. But Linklater managed it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Kesava Dharshan It's just adorable, felt like its unscripted, just what those two would've done if the story really happened, the way they'd react and everything. It' just amazing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Average P Yep, pretty much the perfect mid-life love story. Essentially this is a love story told backwards, about a couple who loved and lost each other, working back in conversation through all the mis-steps and near misses of their subsequent lives to the experience of togetherness they experienced when they first met. The first installment, "Before Sunrise is just as beguiling. but the sequel: "Before Midnight" is kind of depressing if you are romantic by nature Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Julien T We all watched this because we loved "Before sunrise". We all were rooting for Jessie and Céline to finally get together. We were all watching it with the fear of a let down seeing how amazing its prequel was. We all left feeling satisfied and then some because Linklater and its talented cast didn't fall in all the usual gooey entrapments the film could have easily fallen into in Paris, the city of Love. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Chris H Very good follow up to the first film in this series. Not quite as good as that one- Before Sunrise; but infinitely better than the truly rotten Before Midnight. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Robert R The ideal watch for people-watching romantics. Gotta love a film from the franchise that birthed the walk-and-talk subgenre. Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy -- both on set and on the page -- pull off a feeling of naturalism you don't often get from other films of the romantic persuasion. In fact, calling this a "romantic comedy" feels so disingenuous to what it's trying to do. This is a film that's looking to turn its audience into flies on the proverbial wall, taking two characters with two different sets of needs, worldviews and experiences and showing us how these two interact, how they feel about how they used to interact and what they both really want in life. You'd think some of this would get tired and stale, but it really doesn't. The pacing is surprisingly breezy and the subject matter is all very palatable. Feel like such a dope for being this late to the game, but this really is good stuff. No hot takes here. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
