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.

I'm not sure if it's the actors or their conversation that makes the film appealing, maybe both, but it works in a sweet, thought-provoking way.

A deep investigation of attraction is what made "Sunrise" so special. In Sunset, it's the profound, frustrating feelings of regret and anger over missed opportunities, which makes this drama ready to boil over at any moment.

an immensely satisfying sequel that carefully treads the line between the comic and the tragic while detailing the pros and cons of maturity.

Linklater's method, in an age when critics celebrate the egomania of M. Night Shyamalan and Quentin Tarantino, distinguishes him as Gen X's most literary director.

Through the verbiage and the dubious equation of realism with truth, Before Sunset instills profundity -- maintaining an optimism and sobriety about life after 30.

A late date movie that gives young love a good name. More sequels, please.
