Nine years ago, director Richard Linklater's BEFORE SUNRISE introduced American twentysomething Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and French twentysomething Celine (Julie Delpy). The two met on a train to Vienna, and spent the night together wandering around the city, talking, and falling for each other. They parted ways, vowing to meet in Vienna in six months. Linklater's latest film, BEFORE SUNSET, picks up where the 1994 film left off. In Paris promoting a novel he has written about their one perfect night together (the two were never reunited), Jesse is dumbfounded when Celine shows up at his last bookstore interview. With just a few hours remaining before his flight back to the States, Jesse and Celine meander through Paris, returning in no time at all to their playful banter, flirtation, and intense conversations about life, love, and the state of the world. Although the sexual tension is palpable, Jesse is married--albeit unhappily--and has a young son, and Celine has a boyfriend. Are these thirtysomethings really soul mates, or ships destined to keep passing in the night? Perhaps only screenwriter Linklater, along with Delpy and Hawke who contributed to the insightful, believable dialogue, know for sure.

Before Sunset Reviews:

"The actors shine. Hawke is funny and touching....Delpy scores a tour de force..." -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"[A] deeper, darker, altogether more memorable experience. It doesn't extend the characters as much as fulfill them." -- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"[E]nchanting..." -- A. O. Scott, New York Times

"[I]ncredibly fluid and involving....If you have any kind of affinity for either of the characters, you're bound to find the picture a kind of miracle." -- Glenn Kenny, Premiere

"[I]t works a treat, flowing with the naturalistic ease of New Wave masters like Francois Truffaut or Agnes Varda....BEFORE SUNSET is a small story, but thoroughly intoxicating." -- Stephen Dalton, Uncut

"[Delpy] has a wise, knowing air, and the composure of a lioness..."-- Philip Kemp, Sight and Sound

"For Linklater, BEFORE SUNSET represents a triumphant breakthrough."-- Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

"Candid, funny, deeply moving." -- Kevin Durban, New York Times

Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars So real that it sucks you in
Even moreso than the original movie "Before Sunrise", the conversations and the flow of the scenes assembled very nearly in real time draws you in to the bond between these two characters. The acting is natural which serves to solidify the tangible realness of the film. It makes you wish that you had conversations like this. I was most impressed with the scene as they walk from the bookstore together. It appears to be one continuous 10 minute shot and the actors never miss a beat in their dialogue. Julie Delpy's song is a real treat and the ending of the movie is wonderfully French instead of Hollywood.

4 stars Very good...
Very sad also. At least until the end. Was very choked up on a few occasions in this movie. Very emotional dialouge between the characters. Only complaint is the ending. It wasn't necessarily bad but I guess I kinda hoped that there would have been a more DEFINITIVE ending. Once again, things were left on an ambiguous note. I think there should be a 3rd.

5 stars Excellent movie
This one is even better than "Before Sunrise". Both characters are more cynical about love but are still drawn to each other. The last five minutes of the movie are truly wonderful, the ending is one of the best I've seen in a movie in years.

Youth gangs took over the slums of Rio de Janiero during the 1960s and didn't relinquish their stronghold until the mid-1980s. Only a sucker wouldn't have turned to crime and this is exactly how naive teen Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) views himself. His attempts in illegal activity fail as he finds potential victims too friendly. Equally unsuccessful in love, he regularly fails to lose his virginity. Blood spills throughout the streets of the Ciudad de Deus as gang leader Li'l Ze (Leandro Firmino da Hora) is challenged by local druglords and a gang of pre-teens ...

In addition to scoring one of the biggest surprise hits in television history, NBC generated a veritable pop culture phenomenon with its twentysomething sitcom smash FRIENDS. Set in New York City, the series chronicled the lives of six best friends as they navigated through the ups and downs of romance and career from the confines of their local coffee shop and some pretty fabulous Manhattan apartments. While the series originally rode to success on the coattails of its Thursday night predecessor SEINFELD, what differentiated FRIENDS from ...

Paul Mazursky's directorial debut effectively and comically deals with many of the frailties of the sexually enlightened 1960s. Bob (Robert Culp) is a successful documentary filmmaker who takes his wife, Carol (Natalie Wood), to a remote California retreat for group therapy, intending on observing only in the hopes of making a new documentary. However, the hipster couple immediately become involved in the therapy, embracing the groovy ideals of swinging couples, tai chi, emoting, and primal screams. They arrive home full of new feelings and radical ideas about their marriage and successfully amuse their best friends, Ted (Elliott Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon), a much straighter version of themselves. However, after Bob and Carol admit, accept, and practically ...
