A great, fulfilling sequel to Before Sunrise. The ending is in the sweet spot, just inbetween "overexplanatory" and "unexplanatory". Richard Linklater faded out at the perfect time. We know that they had sex in there apartment. And we know that their relationship has been revived. It's just not handed to us on a silver platter.

8/10.

This movie really worked for me as a standalone movie. I don't know if my experience watching it could be improved by watching the first one, but now I really want to see the entire trilogy. Highly recomended.

The most exciting stage of a (fictional) relationship for me personally is exactly the one encapsulated in this chapter of the trilogy. Forget the nerves and ingenuity of a new relationship, i want the angst and the high tension of a past love that didn't work out but is on the verge of a reunion. I'm obsessed with the way this pair of actors explores the different levels of chemistry, applied to each different stage of the chatacters' relationship - it's subtle, but you notice it just enough to make it feel whole and real but still more exciting and dramatic than real life, (which is what we always look for in movies, right?) without ever crossing the bridge to cringiness, which is always the big risk in romantic movies. The dialogues, as always, were an incredibly entertaining chess match to follow, but by far my favourite part is Céline's outburst of emotion in the car, just so so good. That ending has to be one of my favourite endings to a movie ever. I'm obsessed. First one was a solid 9, this one's a good 9,5. Let's see what the third instalment has got!

"You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details."

The decision to do a sequel to the wonderful "Before Sunrise" nine years later was both extremely brave and a no-brainer. Because, while independent films of this type rarely get sequels, the chemistry between Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke was so compelling that you had to know what happened next to their characters. And in "Before Sunset," it quickly becomes clear that the two have lost none of their chemistry. Once again, the actual plot is secondary; the dialogue is the main attraction. Because it is not only funny, profound, heartfelt, and romantic, but it is also well staged. All in all, I think this movie is the perfect companion piece to the first film.

More good stuff, and I like how it initially started out awkward but progressively they got used to one anther again. I also liked how they talked about what's changed in their lives since they last saw each other.

One of the most realistic romance I ever watched. Watched this immediately after the first part in 2023 and it's still relevant and stands out from all the nonsense rom coms till date. I loved how it gives you hope and doesn't make you hopelessly romantic.

Pretty great towards the end. Captivating conversation and [spoiler]outbursts in the car[/spoiler]. And that ending when [spoiler]Celine sings that song[/spoiler], it's been a long time since I've teared up watching a romantic movie.

Ah, so they did it again. Just when you think they've taken all the magical ambiguity of the first movie (and romance) out of this lovely story, they hit you with something arguably more ambiguous and uncertain. This comment catches me in-between just finishing Sunset and getting watching Midnight tomorrow, but I sort of want to bask in the ambivalence of this movie's highs and lows before I get some more answers.

not perfect as the first one but still a very good film almost great..I would rather to see an alternative ending but i was supposed to be in that way i guess..7.4/10!

All the dialogue about life and love makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Everybody has a memory of unforgettable romance in his/her past. It happens everywhere and anytime. Love usually takes long time to let two realise, but sometimes it appears suddenly in front of people. Then, It did 9 years ago in Viena, for this two guys ; one is American and the other is French. They met in Paris this time , where she lives. Paris. I'm wondering why this city always make trivial things so romantic. They just talked until the sunset and she just sang a song with the guitar in her room. The atmosphere doesn't exclude philosophical conversation among a man and a woman who are getting tired of their private lives. I'm wondering if it happens in every romantic cities in Europe and I'm wondering why it doesn't happen in Japan, where people have much money but no time to think about importance of our lives.

No me gustan las películas que no tienen final, de hecho me desagrada eso de una película, sin embargo, con esta cinta no me pasa lo mismo, de hecho quedo tan complacido con ese final que hace que la película me guste más, no imagino un final mejor para esta segunda entrega la historia de Jesse y Celine. Un guión más maduro y melancólico pero igual de romántico, no tanto por el amor sino por el rememorar los años perdidos del romanticismo joven de ambos. Maravillosa.

these two movies hold a similar spot as trainspotting in my mind. i had known about them for years and were on my list of shame. i finally watch them both back to back last night. man am i bummed that ive gone all these years without these movies in my life. taken separately they are both great films, but seeing them together, and the progression of the characters in life, wow. maybe much more impact-full because i am the same age as the characters (am almost 40, which the they will be in before midnight) and can relate to the feelings and thoughts each decade of life have to offer. i would recommend for viewers of every age and would be fun to revisit as you approach the age of jesse and celine, to feel the differences in attitude im sure you would have.
