Finds our characters as the same bickering couple they had wished to evade at the beginning of the first film, having supplanted their spontaneous idealism for some relevant cynicism while maintaining their keen perspectives on long-term commitment and unwavering love. And all the better for it.

Strong performances. It makes a lot of sense dramatically and compositionally to have Jesse and Celine bickering, reintroducing previous ponderings about soul mates, fate and everlasting love; questioning them. The film culminates in a hotel scene that's rather exhausting to bear witness to. I found Celine intolerable. I guess that she's probably supposed to be and perhaps has her reasons to be. It's rough to see the couple having devolved into exactly the people they once swore never to become.

I am somewhat ambivalent about this last instalment in the 'Before'-trilogy. The writing and acting are, yet again, excellent, and I have no trouble believing that the events in this movie follow naturally from the previous movies. The writers opted for a naturalistic approach (romance basically turns to kind-of-but-not-total shit) and while this may be a brave choice, I also found myself asking why I subjected myself to the kind of frustrating discussions I'd rather avoid in real life.

Is true love immortal? The strain on the lives of our verbose protagonists is disconcerting after the enamored romanticism of the first two films but it shakes the fairy tale vibe in a very real way. They seemed invincible despite being uncertain at the end of Sunset. Their struggles are first explored through glances and body language as they tiptoe around the unavoidable problems of a sustained partnership. It's beautiful, sad, funny and sweet. Neither is infallible as the veil disappears.

This reminded me a lot of Scene's From A Marriage which is why I think it is my favorite of the trilogy, although I felt it didn't remain as objective as Bergmans. It seemed like the table was tilted against Celine a little too much? I almost hated her by the end which left me disappointed. I wonder if, likewise, women hated Jesse the same way. Perhaps they captured the perfect contrast of the male/female dichotomy? The fact that Before Midnight even raises these questions shows how great it is.

If the first two films were fairytale romances, this one is what happens when the fairytale ends and two people have to learn to live with one another. I think if I tried to use the "you are the fucking mayor of Crazy Town" in an argument with my wife, it would not end well.

this trilogy is like a relationship. it begins with naive idealism and optimism that's nonetheless beautiful, segues into a moment of blossoming, real love, and finally settles into something that's both familiar and welcome. I'm quite sure this was intentional, too. I'll never love these movies the way others too -- though Sunset really gets to me -- but they are some of the best in the world at what they accomplish.

Could it be - is it a serious possibility - that I, a young twentysomething, do, in fact, hate people? This film certainly has me wondering. An almost neverending string of contrivances and forced, folksey wisdoms no conversation has ever been exclusively comprised of. Very American, I unfortunately have to say.

May be the most honest of the three, with the most seamless dialogue as well with only the additional cast at the beginning feeling out of place. Our leads have become what pushed them together in the first film, almost two decades prior. It's most important message is the self realization that a storybook romance does not guarantee success. I really hope there is a fourth film as this is one of the strongest series in film history.

Much heavier and depressing than the first two, this one feels just a tad typical in its exploration of an aged couple. But again, wonderful acting & direction work wonders here, as they did in the first two. I hope there will be a fourth and the series wouldn't end on this note since - let's face it - the characters are made all too real and the audience is left with no choice but to connect.

Retains the wit and charm of the first two, but strips it of its fairy tale trappings to stunning effect. Linklater said he had to match Scenes from a Marriage. I don't think he quite succeeded as a whole (some of the symbolism is a little on-the-nose), but getting to know them and fall in love with them over 18 years certainly makes the events that unfold here all the more powerful. And the last 30 seconds is maybe the best ending to a romance since City Lights.

It really doesn't seem like it'd be that great of a movie, given the summary. It could have gone wrong. It could have been a bunch of boring talking with a poorly written script. But holy shit, the movie passes by and you don't even realize it because the writing is so good, Delpy and Hawke are convincing as hell, the extended shots are lovely and organic, which makes this movie beautiful and naturalistic. And funny/light-hearted at times, even amongst the arguing.

It's a tribute to Delpy, Hawke and Linklater that a film basically structured from a dozen long takes can be so utterly riveting. Linklater's unshowy style lets the performances speak for themselves, and what performances. I empathised with, identified with, felt for this couple, and believed in them completely. Terrific.

A fitting end to this romantic trilogy. Celine and Jesse shed light on the charm that fades between two lovers. As they quarrel and reflect on their life together, emotions erupt and we witness the exhaustion of being deeply committed to one another. It's frightening to see this beloved couple dispel the tenderness between them, yet it's accuracy is rooted in people who put a hold on individual desires and hope for everlasting affection.

Particularly in the first half of this movie, the characters seem like those backpackers on their first trip, full of deep thoughts about life and all. And just like with those backpackers, that would have seemed really cool when you're in your early twenties, but seems very trite once you've realized that they are always talking about the same things, realizing banalities with the certainty that they have discovered something nobody else knows.

I discovered this series in the mid 00's, so I saw the first two in the same week. This time, I had to wait years just like everyone else, I found my imagination seized by the same idyllic haze of distant memory that I imagined had captured Jesse and Celine between the first two. This series, though, is great at forcing the viewer to acknowledge the harsh reality of relationships--they're not perfect, no love is like a fairy tale. To capture that so perfectly in film, is nothing less than magic.

A modern classic for me. This is my best rated film in the trilogy, largely because it reflects the reality of long term relationships in how they are dynamics that must be constantly worked on and assessed. As someone who has been in his own relationship for 7 years now, and married for almost 4, I connected a lot with the seemingly petty issues Hawke and Delpy exchange in with one another. The strength of a relationship something that is to be worked at constantly, something this film

Linklater is probably the only American director right now that like Casavettes can keep me interested in characters just talking and stewing and exploding and finally coping with the messiness of everyday life. The first film is overrated but each film since is better and more refined than the previous installment. The long take scenes flow so gracefully and the actors hit all their emotional marks. I enjoy spending time with these characters.

Linklater finally did it! He has made a beautiful engaging movie, in which the situation makes the conversation. It's not another "talking after talking" movie which makes you regret that they stopped making "silent" movies in the 30th. "Before Midnight" is the best among the "before..." series! Because it hurts! Jokes aside, at last they have something to argue about; Something real not bullshitting while walking around beautiful landscapes!

The initial shock of 'well this isn't a fairytale romance anymore' subsides when you realise Linklater et al are using their characters to explore far more mature subjects than before. The discussions on family, commitment, and especially women's role in the world and in a marriage are some of the more intelligent and moving I've ever seen in cinema, and Hawke and Delpy step back inside Jesse and Celine's shoes perfectly. The best of the trilogy and one of my favourite films of all time.

I can't help but feeling let down by 'Midnight'. Sure, it's nice to see Jesse and Celine again, how they've progressed together, as a couple. Yet, I feel they have gone the wrong route with the story.All I really saw, overall, were two people arguing the whole time about very typical couple stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary. The film, and the trilogy, would have felt more coherent to me if they would have gone back to basic. Reflecting on their 'juvenile' wisdom and philosophy. Sunrise style.

Wow... Generally, it's the same as with the previous 2 titles, lots of dialogue and not much else. But oh, what a quality dialogue and the chemistry! No mere youths or grownups any more, Jesse & Celine are fully troubled adults now, and through the movie we probably see what every couple with long-term kids-having relationship struggles with. And just the dialogue itself plus the ending give hope that things will somehow work out in the end.

I especially found the way the characters negotiate space in this one interesting. In Sunrise they were on their feet the whole time exploring a city and exploring each other. Here they are stationary except for the walk to the hotel, which is the scene most reminiscent against a predecessor. They argue seated, because the exploration is over.

Another brilliant installment in the series, slowly and surely coming together to form one of the great film trilogies. The time elapsed between these films has only enriched the connection I have for these people; Hawke and Delpy's beautiful performances and writing make Jesse and Celine feel like old friends. Linklater however isn't afraid to bring them to dark, uncomfortable places, culminating in a remarkable final act which brings 18 years worth of history to a tense and achingly real boil.

Before Sunset is more engaging overall, because the first third of Midnight with the group conversation is relatively weak. Once Jesse and Celine are by themselves it picks up dramatically, and the hotel room scene is the most powerful of the trilogy. Just like Sunset, 100 minutes feels like 45.

Very realistic portrayal of working to keep love and a relationship alive. Having never been in this situation (long term relationship with kids) there's a bit of a disconnect for me watching this, as I'm still in the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset mold of hopeless romantic/world is my oyster/adventure seeker. The thrill of the hunt from the first two films is gone, replaced by the struggle to avoid stagnation and jadedness.

I hope this becomes something more than a trilogy. It would be fantastic to have a 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, etc, so I suppose we'll have to see what Linklater plans to do. I could easily see this "series" of films becoming better and better as the two characters get older. BEFORE MIDNIGHT is the strongest by far and easily Linklater's best movie.

This film transforms the previous two films into a Gen X version of Michael Apted 7 Up series.The films are more about the characters and their relationship at different life stages, more than just a great romance. As the previous two films, it's Gen X Woody Allen My Dinner with Andre--but now add Scenes from a Marriage.

Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke have given us another beautifully observed, richly textured film about love, relationships, and now parenthood in the contemporary world. With their change in circumstance since the previous film, the tone is strikingly different from the first two films, this one more of a strafed battlefield rather than a lush garden. And yet, they still manage to mix in humor and pathos amid the discord, complicating the portrait of this couple in challenging ways.

The perfect end to the trilogy I didn’t know I needed. It’s a story of a couple trying to come to terms with the way things are despite not having the perfect relationship they dreamt about many years ago. Their relationship is as infectious as ever, so you genuinely feel bad for them when the baggage finally unravels. They have to come to terms with their past choices and current circumstances (and legitimately HARD decisions to make). I loved every second. Hawke and Delpy have still got it.

I like how this series continues to feel real at the characters' age and stage of relationship - and Before Midnight does still fill real. But less so than the previous entries as some of the discussions (especially the beginning half of the film) feel forced. It's a good, although a more difficult watch than the others (and I don't mean because of the subject matter).

Great and brave decision to not just repeat the winning formula of the first two. They are now together, but of course it's not as smooth and fairy tale an ending as they might have imagined. They have real relationship issues, resentments, and insecurities. In some ways seems the most pessimistic of the three about the possibility of true love, but in the end the most optimistic. As he says, it might not be perfect, but it's real. Together, the trilogy is one of the greatest film love stories.

So great romantic movies do exist! A simply beautiful, natural romantic set of three movies, each dedicated to exploration of different stages of a relationship. I've really begun to like Hawke even more after I saw the trilogy. Greece, yes! Addendum: This part is special, it stopped dealing with corny conversations and jumps straight into troubled adulthood. The chemistry is there, but sorta the negative. All three movies are a great experience.

Final(?) entry solidifies the theory that these films live on the affection you have for Hawke and Delpy, rather than anything substantive in the writing - with both actors playing the ageing, embittered versions of their youthfully idealised characters, it's more difficult to find them (or their fairly indulgent complaints) inherently compelling; the descent to ugly pettiness may well be the point our trio are getting at, but it doesn't make the film a pleasant (or edifying) experience.

The characters in this trilogy never felt natural. It felt forced, pseudo-intellectual, not sincere.

While perhaps my least favorite of the trilogy, that's like saying $10 is a little better than $8. The phenomenal chemistry between Hawke & Delpy is back again, & their performances are stellar. The script is sharp, the themes explored are interesting, & the decidedly more cynical undertones are fitting given the older characters. It's 100+ minutes of people talking, but every single one of those minutes is fascinating to watch. Authentic, honest, & emotional, it's a satisfying finale.

before sunrise, gençlik ve arayışın, before sunset, olgunluk ve pişmanlıkların ve şimdilik son olarak before midnight ise yetişkinlik ve sorgulamanın filmi olmuştur.bu filmlerin en büyük başarısı aynı karakterlerin aynı şeyleri hep farklı ruh halleriyle yansıtabilmeyi başarabilmesidir.karakterlerin konuştukları konular her filmde neredeyse aynı ama saçtıkları enerji çok farklı.onlarla beraber biz de seyirci olarak büyüyoruz ve geçen zamanı birebir yaşıyoruz.

The attempt to discuss different perspectives on love and relationships at the group dinner scene felt somewhat detached from the premise of the trilogy as a whole but this possible problem is surely overshadowed by the magnificent hotel room scene. In a way we have accompanied the full cicle of love in its many stages from the infatuation to consolidation. Also curious is the transition from living in the future to regretting about the past and contemplating the future again though their kids.

I didn't enjoy this film as much as the previous 2 in the trilogy (Before Sunrise and Before Sunset) due to the state of the couples relationship. However, it is still a thoughtful watch. Its not especially overly sentimental, its a philosophical watch of sorts but this one features more in the way of arguments/disagreements. However, the script is certainly decent and I enjoyed the scenes showcasing the Greek oudoors - its a lovely setting and the characters have plenty to talk about.

For me the weakest of the trilogy. The dialogues are a little better, but it made me feel a little uncomfortable. The hotel scene was a little upsetting to me.

Jag har åldrats tillsammans med de här karaktärerna och verkligen gillat filmens två föregångare. Men tyvärr är Before Midnight svagast i trilogin. Skillnaden är att de andra två har tjänat på den spänning och koncentration som uppstått genom filmernas grundförutsättning: tiden är begränsad, snart måste de ta avsked. Nu är de istället gifta och lever ett familjeliv och småtrötta på varandra. Celine är bitvis ganska pestig. Detta är lite svårt att smälta helt enkelt. E

It was like remeeting two dear old friends whom the years have made thoroughly unpleasant and self-absorbed. Were we really ever once so close?

Full disclosure - I have seen both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset and loved them for their uniqueness. Firstly, you have to be in awe of this 3-part movie franchise (I'm sure they didn't intend for it to be one) considering the first one came out in 1994. The movie stays true to the core of the previous two instalments but the conversations are not as gripping as the earlier ones. It is a bit of "heard that before" as we delve into their relationship issues. Still engaging enough though.

So difficult to top "Sunset". This movie deserves a re-watch, but it for some reason didn't leave the same impression. This reason is no doubt that I, the reviewer, have yet to experience this part of life. But this is not to say I can't or don't connect to this film and I recall walking out of the screening, thinking about this experience, where it could go next and what I had learned over the course of almost 30 years in these characters' lives. I hope it continues.

Jesse & Celine are back, with kids in tow. Their dialogue, especially during arguments, feels more real than ever, and once the pair are alone the scenes fly past as always. But - and it's a big but - the way in which their conversations see-saw is anything but natural, and as a result has a significant impact on their authenticity. Unfortunately this flip-flapping continues right up to the final scene, meaning you're not left desperately wanting more from these characters this time.
