Before Midnight

2013

My Take

They're together now. It's real, it's lived-in, and it's hard. This is not the romance film. This is what comes after the romance film — a long argument in a hotel room that will make you deeply uncomfortable because it's too accurate. Still worth it.

▶Official Synopsis

It has been nine years since we last met Jesse and Celine, the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna. They now live in Paris with twin daughters but have spent a summer in Greece at the invitation of an author colleague of Jesse's. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions, and his relationship with Celine is at risk.
