Before Midnight (2013)

 

Genre: Romance / Drama
Directed by: Richard Linklater
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy 
Running Time: 109 minutes


 

Nine years after the events of Before Sunset, Jesse and Céline are now a couple, with twin daughters. After having had his teenage son from a previous marriage with him and his present family for the Summer, Jesse has to send him back to Chicago, and he feels the disconnect. All of this brings the couple to a crossroad where they start questioning everything about their life together.

This is the third part of the trilogy involving the characters of Jesse and Céline, after Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. There is some very good complex writing here, and the actors deliver their respective roles with much talent, yet again. This film touched me even deeper, considering the age I am at. It felt so real, it felt like I was involved in the fight between the two main characters.

Overall, though it was a tad too long for what it was, this is still a smart movie well worth seeing.
