Review of Before Sunset (2004) by Edmund C — 31 Jan 2011

Another effortlessly charming couple of performances from the very good Ethan Hawke & the absolutely superb Julie Delphy. The plot is again uneventful but it does not need to be as it is again so well written & feels so natural.

I could listen to these two talk for years but, unfortunately, we only have two films! The way this film appears to be shot in real time is also a rare technique that works really well for the film. The ending is quite abrupt but this only adds to its intrigue & leaves you pondering their relationship long after the credits finish.
