Before Midnight (2013), Richard Linklater
4/5
The third instalment in this relationship drama (Before Midnight and Before Sunset) brings together once again, Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy and Richard Linklater. In true form, the writing is smart and witty. If overtly laden with meaning and also pretentiously intellectual. Amongst this I think the film and the characters (brilliantly played by Hawke and Delpy) which have great chemistry and drama that feels authentic. They delve into the same issues that they've confronted throughout the three films as well as dealing with getting older and the complexities of their lives now. These films definitely improve with age and this film is real and bitterly funny at times, but also authentically frustrating at times.
