i must have seen a different film!!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together. Before Sunrise is a drama, romance that was just horrible i mean i kept watching and watching expecting for something big to happen but even the romantic part was just not even there at all. I didn't like any of the perfomances and definitely not any of the characters and i really don't get how it's even ranked on the Top 250 movies of all time it's not that good. (0/10)

'Before Sunrise (1995)' essentially has no plot and, though that's the point as the intention is to be a romance with all the extraneous 'Hollywood' elements removed, this leads to an experience that feels loose, aimless and meandering. It's experimental and laid-back by design but isn't the most gripping of narrative pieces because of it. It certainly feels less a character-study of its two leads and more a vehicle for Linklater, Krizan, Delpy and Hawke (the latter two of whom contributed heavily to the script uncredited) to express some of their most unique of ideas. These come constantly, seeming like stories they've told to friends or theories they have about life, love and religion, and, while they can be interesting (genuinely thought-provoking in cases), they don't really develop the characters and seem sort of out of place within the story. It's difficult to explain why most of that stuff doesn't seem to work, but it just doesn't feel fully genuine in most cases. It doesn't feel like it comes from the characters or express their budding romance, though this sort of talk certainly forms the basis for most relationships. Still, it isn't all unsuccessful. There is certainly some charm to the picture, once it picks up steam. In the end, the experiment seems to have worked. It was creatively refreshing for all involved and evokes memories of wandering around a holiday desination talking about nothing for hours. There's even some impressive long takes and the 'unscripted' feel is admirable considering it was all scripted down to the letter. This all leads to a sort of inane, carefree and somewhat nostalgic - if limited - enjoyment of a hundred-minute conversation told with cinematic language. 6/10

That's how to write a very smart and sophisticated dialogue for such a simple story.I loved the way the conversations are so realistic because they don't seem to connect to each other and that's exactly what we do when we move from a topic to another. The dialogue is thought-provoking and very very entertaining.Of course, without the compelling performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy I wouldn't relate to their characters as much as I did.Before Sunrise proves that Richard Linklater is actually superior to Woody Allen even at his best.I wish if I could be convinced how they get to know each other that fast or how they keep talking to each other all the day long just a little more than I did.Undeniably, Before Sunrise is one of the best romantic films of all time. (9/10)

A lot of people have praised this movie and told me to watch it because they were so sure I'd like it, but the unromantic that is me always avoided it. I gotta say I have been mistaken. See, the romance certainly adds to it but it's more than just that, it's two people actually talking for a change, y'know? It's not just an illogical physical or emotional attraction, no, it's something else. They are these two different individuals with ideals and opinions and all sorts of different thoughts, and while the movie doesn't really have a purpose or a specific direction that it's headed to, it ends up teaching you a bunch of things.I can't praise the performance of both Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy enough. They both gave off that confident yet naturally awkward feeling to them. That's what made it much more realistic and engaging. It was almost like you were one of them during that –I must say extremely short– hour and a half. I even found myself participating in their discussions more than once without even realizing. Answering their questions, objecting and agreeing to what they said. Even when I did object, their point of view was as valid as I thought mine was.If you're one of those people who like, for instance, Marvel's movies or movies that are quick-paced you might find this one torturous. I, for one, like entertaining and adrenaline-pumping movies but still loved it.A huge applause to Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Kim Krizan and Richard Linklater for writing this amazing script. This was refreshing.
