Before Midnight

There are plenty of films about falling in love and rekindling an old romance. Before Midnight instead is brave enough to deal with the challenges of being in a relationship for the long haul. Jessie (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) may have got a little older and more cynical about love and life since their last encounter in Paris nine years ago, but whenever these characters are chatting away against a picturesque European backdrop (this time, the idyllic Peloponnese) it feels like catching up with two dear old friends. It might not be the most enjoyable entry of the Before… trilogy, but it is definitely the most mature.
