I think I liked it better than the first movie. It's very short and flies by but it fits because the entire film takes place in real time. It's incredibly filmed and laid out in that way. Taking these two movies as a whole it's amazing how they portray the chemistry between the two characters with regards to the scriptwork. Neither movie has a long period of time to work with and so the dialog is crafted in such a way to very slowly and gently build to a believable conclusion. Great care was taken.
I was a bit dismayed at first that Hawke's character was now married and with a kid but that's the trap that is so easy to fall into. This series is meant to be realistic in a way that turns your usual feelings towards romantic movies on their head. Of course he moved on with his life after being left in Vienna six months later because that's precisely what would really happen.
Saw a comment on here asking “has anyone had an experience like this?” In terms of meeting someone and instantly had chemistry with them, yes I think there are a lot of people out there that have done that.
Much better than Before Sunrise, partially because it's shorter and more urgent, but also these people were the worst in their 20s. Now in their 30s, they're actually PEOPLE you can give a shit about. They've met each other once, but now they "know" each other, so none of the obnoxious faux intellectualism that's rife in the first one is here. This is a film about regrets but also the knowledge that time moves on. Linklater clearly got the idea of doing Boyhood from these movies, but unfortunately that flick is junk compared to Before Sunset.
I didn't like very much "Before sunrise" and that's why I was really surprised about the sequel. So I think I have to watch the second sequel, maybe it's even better?
This movie makes me appreciate the fact that I have English as a first language so that I can pick up on all the little nuances to how the actors speak to one another. There's nothing really I can say about this film, I just love it!
It's in Before Sunset, made 9 years later, that you realize just how well those characters WERE drawn. Jesse and Céline meet up again in Paris for another "timed visit", perhaps to pick up where they left off. Again, my memory of the film was that of sparkling conversation, but once more it's the romantic elements that struck me. More than a progressing document about a couple (and actors) at a different place in their lives, the film also addresses how that night 9 years ago affected them profoundly. And it ends as ambiguously as the Sunrise, but maybe more satisfyingly.
Those final 10 minutes made Before Sunset go from good to great. The whole apartment scene was so stuck in my brain that I had to watch it again the day after. The magic was still there.
Even if you don't like his films (which I can understand, but as a movie buff I cannot comprehend), Richard Linklater has an impeccable taste in music.

a good sequel but not quite up to the first one – this trilogy should have been in the book as one combined entryhttps://beyond1001movies.wordpress.com/
