A gemlike minimalist triumph -- deeper and more provocative than its predecessor.

However, between Delpy, Hawke, and Linklater, a script was born and once again the couple meets, this time in Paris, this time for far fewer hours (and in real time).

The characters eventually manage to get beyond their existential ennui and incessant talking to something approaching romance.

The final 25 minutes of Before Sunset, starting with excruciatingly honest admissions from both parties in a car backseat, are the best filmmaking I’ve ever seen.

Of course I liked it a lot, I almost loved it. I mean, I often felt like I loved it, but I'm not sure I really did or I'm not sure why. It's, like, a hard movie to argue with.

Una película sobre la frustración de crecer, sobre la constatación de que la felicidad es un concepto extraño que se disfruta mucho más como posibilidad que como meta.

If you enjoy intelligent dialogue and believe in love, then you’ll enjoy this film.

Here's an unusual sequel to an equally unusual film from nine years ago.

O resultado é que este é, ao lado de Brilho Eterno de uma Mente Sem Lembranças, um dos melhores filmes do ano. E, também como aquele, um dos mais românticos.
