It has been nine years since we last met Jesse and Celine, the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna. They now live in Paris with twin daughters but have spent a summer in Greece at the invitation of an author colleague of Jesse's. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions, and his relationship with Celine is at risk.

Am I Missing Something?

FirstWitch

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I think every couple must watch this together. To create a family and keep it is hard. This film shows the problems we all will face. I wish everyone understood that they are part of our lives!

The first time I watched Before Sunrise I was blown away by the movie's ability to hold my attention and to express a connection as well as it did purely through dialogue. However, the second time I watched it, the characters bothered me with their pretentiousness.This movie, I watched because I had seen the other two and although I no longer loved the two characters as I did the first time I saw it, I wanted to get some closure.I feared they wouldn't be happy in their marriage and every time I saw it in their eyes or in her reluctance to be affectionate, my heart ached. But the bluntness of this movie and how unforgiving it is is what makes it so good. I wanted to 'put it off' as much as both characters did; that is, the confrontation of their true feeling.Also, Delpy and Hawke are such brilliant, brilliant actors: they make these characters feel so real and make me love and relate to them but also hate them, in a great way. They make me pay attention to every detail of their physicality, facial expression and whatnot.I just really love this movie and its nuanced brilliance that engaged me throughout it all. I really can't wait for another sequel.

I, personally, am from Greece, so I was curious to see how they would introduce Greek people and our culture. I have to say I am very happy with the result. Even though it's the third movie, they managed to keep it interesting, with smart dialogues still not missing from the script. It was really fascinating how they inserted Greek habits and parts of everyday life, without it seeming forced or unnecessary. I really liked how they presented the different ideas of love in each movie. "Before Sunrise" showing us young, innocent love, "Before Sunset" displaying the difficulties you face as an adult being confused about what you really want for your love life, and finally "Before Midnight". In this film they successfully introduce to the viewer the phase in two people's lives, where they have settled down and try to deal with some of the problems a married couple with kids could encounter. The lead actors had great on-screen chemistry once again, achieving to realistically present us these situations. Overall, I believe that it's a smart, entertaining movie with so much to offer. I truly recommend it.

I actually managed to watch this, but after, I felt that I had wasted a piece of my life. Nothing happens in the entire film. It is just a bunch of people jabbering away. There is an absolutely interminable section which is merely a conversation taking place between two adults in the front of a car, while two young girls sleep in the back. It goes on and on and on and on ... much like this review. It's impossible for me to imagine who this movie is for. I got it for my wife because she understands emotions and people and so on whereas I mainly understand science and engineering and rockets and stuff. But my wife had a hard time with it as well. I can definitively say, if you're a man, this movie is not for you, unless you also want to waste a piece of your life. For masochists only.
