The bitter realities of love and eternal battle of the sexes take centre stage in the final chapter of Richard Linklater’s romance trilogy Before Midnight.
Samantha Garrison from Film Takeout writes:
"These three films are certainly not chick flicks, but I’m covering them anyway because I’m so disheartened to find that this is what passes for romance among my dude peers. So let’s talk about romance, love, and why these three little movies are not a great example of either."
If the blockbuster season this year was contentious and divisive, the indie circuit was a treasture trove of bedeazzling content. Check to see what you may have missed or what you know you'll see again.
Bone-idle writes "Before Midnight is a remarkable film on many levels, not least that it succeeds in being equally good as its predecessors at presenting a relationship, born of walking and talking, and cemented in the spaces in between. It would have been all too easy to predict these talkative, philosophical vagabonds transitioning badly into adulthood, Generation X becoming Generation ‘Why?’ and ‘Zzzz’, yet the trio of Hawke, Delpy, and director Linklater, who all share credit for writing this film, only make its central characters more interesting with age."
I was keeping distance from this one, thinking it;s to be bad, but am glad I saw it, was a pretty good movie, well thought out script.
