Before Sunset is one of my favorite romance films ever, it also has one of the best endings I've ever seen.

[@djmermin]

I can not agree more. This is a rare fly-on-the-wall movie experience. The level of authenticity in regards to real life relationships is almost documentary like.
Too bad it might take another 9 years for a movie with such unique quality to be released.

I loved these films. Sunset was a favourite but the characters are infinitely watchable.

[@Bailey2006a]

I own the trilogy ..worth every penny

[@joshuafletcher4501]

Bailey beautiful packaging from criterion.

[@tempsec95]

I totally agree with all Mark says. I've watched the films over the 18 year period and could not wait to see this. I look at the relationship with cynical eyes may be not having lived it as much as Mark says but been there with exes. Julie and Ethan have such good chemistry on screen. Perhaps Julie, Ethan and Richard Linklater could squeeze a fourth and final?

Julie Delpy is a brilliant actress

[@chrishiggins7166]

The film’s terrifically acted, terrifically written, terrifically directed, heart warming & A stylish conclusion for the series. (94%) (4.5/5 stars) (positive)

[@GumbiC88]

Easily the best film of the year so far and one that will be very hard to top.

[@withnail6969]

A film Mr Kermode and I agree on. Thats a rarity. I'm glad its this one though. I still rank sunset as the best but this was a fantastic film

[@nfulena]

Great film that just draws you in, real characters who act like real people.

[@danmickeyman]

[@leosylver7]

I hope 9 years later the Characters won't be Haneke's Amour

God does not exist in you and me...but in the space between you and me.

I’ve seen all three and I like the films but I find Ethan Hawke so pretentious. He’s not nearly as good as he thinks he is and he’s not as clever as he thinks he is. Just can’t take to him

[@jmcpartland01]

His character or the man himself?

[@nt7863]

I am sorry, but we are talking about Greece, a country that has economically and to some extent socially collapsed. Yet again we are presented with rich young American's Hollywood types wandering around without a care in the world.......
If I didn't know it better, this seems to me just as vacuous as Sex and the City 2, or Eat Prey Love. Its just well acted drivel.
After this I went and watched Threads, just to cheer myself up.....
