Before Sunset Audience Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

SnoopyStyle It's 9 years after the events of 'Before Sunrise'. American Jesse Wallace (Ethan Hawke) is in Paris on a book tour after writing about that night with Céline (Julie Delpy) in Vienna. He's coy to the reporters about that night. Céline shows up and they restart the conversation while he waits for his flight later that night. She reveals that she didn't make their planned meeting due to her grandmother's funeral. He reveals that he did return for the meeting. He's married with a son. She has a photojournalist boyfriend who is away. The conversation fluctuates between breezy and deeper material until personal truths start to be spilled.Richard Linklater has hit on something compelling by returning to the same characters years later. It's casual and improvisational-like. Hawke and Delpy still have the same chemistry but more adult. It's deeper. There is an addition to the material by being a sequel. It's more than repetition. It's a sweet return of old friends.

cabineth Former episode 'Before Sunrise'had filled my mind with expectation in which someday o could have managed casual encounter on unknown place. (some of words on movies are : Jesse: Do you - Do you speak English? Céline: Yeah. No, I'm sorry, my German is not very good. Céline: Have you ever heard that as couples get older, they lose their ability to hear each other? Jesse: No. Céline: Well, supposedly, men lose the ability to hear higher-pitched sounds, and women eventually lose hearing in the low end. I guess they sort of nullify each other, or something. Jesse: I guess. Nature's way of allowing couples to grow old together without killing each other.Sunset have dragged (a kind of) immature expectation down to reality. They are now in early mid age and both had experienced other lovers and they're back to their casual lover. But still, it lays on the very edge of kin but warm communication between lovers Beautiful scenery wonder-full dialogue and perfect ending Please slowly sink to the words they exhale. whole series will give you a decent feeling

gibsonsarah-07857 When I watched this film I had no idea about its first part. This was probably the first movie I felt in love with and also the one I've watched the most times. Then I was informed about the first part and watch it also but I think the second part is still the best, not even mentioning the third one.This second part is basically the conversation between two characters. The man and the women are talking about bunch of different things which are happening in their life but there conversations are really meaningful and interesting.So, that's a love story. Very beautiful love story and very unique. The movie is full of beautiful scenes and moments you will love and rest like everything acting, directing, sounds, music, script and all rest are simply beautiful! You want regret watching this film.

vishaal811 Before Sunset is the sequel to the romantic movie Before Sunrise. Like its predecessor, it takes place strictly in real time. Again, there is no action or any other elements that are supposed to be present in a typical movie. The movie just focuses on the meeting of the two lead characters after a gap of 9 years since they met on the train. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy return and in addition to acting they also helped with the screenplay and are credited for the effort. The acting is effortless and the fact that the characters as well as the actors have aged exactly the same way adds to the realism that this movie aims for. Richard Linklater does not disappoint with the sequel that manages to stand as a great film on its own without comparing it to Before Sunrise. My only grievance for this movie is that it tends to get overdramatic in certain moments like when Julie Delpy breaks down while explaining that she always fails at relationships. The ambiguous ending keeps us wanting more which is just brilliant.
