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.
4/5
