Look up charming and the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy holding hands.

An intelligent, sincere film. It's really hard to pull off natural conversation in film but Linklater does it in spades. Part 1 of one of the greatest romances I've seen.

Finally saw this the other night and loved it. Hawke gives a hauntingly real performance. Can't wait to watch Before Sunset before Before Midnight is released.

Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have some of the best chemistry in film I've ever seen. Few couples can make 100 minutes worth of conversation this engaging.

[Jack Nevada]

A terrific and immensely human and likable movie. As Spaghetti said Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke have a startlingly good, almost magical chemistry. Speaking of magical holy crap, I dont think I've ever seen any actress look as luminous and beautiful as Julia Delpy does here. 

 

4/5

I estimate that I have seen this movie roughly 647 thousand times. I just love it too much.

[Travod]

Worst of the three.

I've just now had the pleasure of viewing this wonderful meditation on love and existence. It's very funny, thought-provoking, and one of the greatest romances ever put to screen. I look forward to seeing the finale on the big screen even before having seen the second one all the way through.

Who said Before Midnight was the finale?

Where can they go after that? "Before Astronomical Twilight"?

Where can they go after that? "Before Astronomical Twilight"?

idk, but the people involved have, not outright said but hinted that they see it like Michael Apted's UP series where they look at the state of a relationship every nine years.

[AniNate]

Well, I assume it's a trilogy right now but I'd certainly love to spend more time with this couple after seeing this film. 

[Michael Gary Scott]

It's been like seven years since I've seen this but I still love it and can't wait to see before midnight. Such a charming beautiful moving movie. Delpy and Hawke are fantastic. 5/5.

[Jake Gittes]

Finally just saw it. Had a gigantic smile on my face nearly all the way through. A wonder of a movie.

I love this movie. The actors have fantastic chemistry. One of the best romantic movies made and you love both characters so much. Intelligent written with masterful acting. Before Sunrise is a must see.

Is it wrong that I didn't love this near as much as everyone else?Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad. But I didn't find it that great either, and find its greatness to be a bit overstated. It seemed too cutesy for its own good, and suffered from pacing issues. A better score and style would have done numbers for this film. I thought Weekend did a much better job of portraying a temporary fling, and had characters/situations that seemed much more real.However, I am still interested to see how the last two films in the series play out.B-/C+

What is that?

[Ezen Baklattan]

Yes, it is wrong. For shame, Matt.But seriously, you're going to like the other films more. The first one is easily the most cutesy, and the third act of Before Midnight is extremely cathartic

[Fanboy]

What is that?

Before Sunrise with more gay sex.
