Film Review – Before Midnight

“Before Midnight” represents the next stage of development for the
Richard Linklater-directed series, which wasn’t truly intended to be a
string of movies in the first place. With 1995’s “Before Sunrise” and
2004’s “Before Sunset,” Linklater, along with star Ethan Hawke and Julie
Delpy, crafted loquacious inspections of the human heart, studying the
development of a tentative relationship as it grew from flirtation to
promises, from loss to love. Now the topic is marriage and all its
pitfalls and challenges, returning to the once springy lovers nearly two
decades after they first met on a European train. True to form,
Linklater doesn’t rock the boat with this second sequel, embarking on a
familiar odyssey of conversation, personal inventory, and brutal
honesty.
