Before Midnight 2013


Before Midnight     This film is the sequel to Before Sunset (1995) and Before Sunrise (2004).  Jesse and Celine have twin daughters and Jesse has a teenage son from his previous marriage.  Jesse is feeling a lot of remorse because he lives in France and Hank lives in Chicago with his mother.  He thinks the geographical distance is bad for both of them.  Hank has just spent the summer with the family on a vacation in Greece and he has just left for Chicago.  The family has been staying with an author colleague of Jesse.
     The entire film is dialogue.  Talking, talking and then arguing, arguing.  I could not take anymore and I didn’t finish this film.  It’s like going to someone’s house and you never say a word but they never shut up!!  2* (I didn’t like this movie) 

109 min, Drama directed by Richard Linklater with Ethan Hawke, Julie Delphy, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick, Jennifer and Charlotte Prior, Zenia Kalogeropoulou, Walter Lassally, Ariane Labed, Yiannis Papadopoulos.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 8.1 out of 10, 98% critic 83% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
