Before Sunrise

Pros: Beautiful setting in Vienna, not your typical romance story.
Cons: None.

Before Sunrise is a 1995 movie written and directed by Richard Linklater. It stars Ethan Hawke as Jesse and Julie Delpy as Celine, the two main characters in this movie. It is a romance, but a different kind of romance that only spans the time ...

Pros: Atmospheric, organic romance that feels utterly natural.
Cons: Slow to develop.

A filmophile friend of mine kept encouraging me to rent "Before Sunrise." So finally, with my reading and work caught up (and a Netflix trial), I finally rented it, only to fall in love with a romance that was utterly charming, unassuming, organic, and ...

Pros: Direction/Script, Locations, Cinematography, Editing, Music, Hawke & Delpy.
Cons: None.

Following the 1991 low-budget, seminal indie classic Slacker and the 1993 70s stoner-comedy Dazed & Confused, Richard Linklater was become one of the 1990s premier American filmmakers. His exploration of youth and culture along with the ...

Pros: Writing, acting, direction, everything
Cons: None

Before Sunrise is one of the most profound and compelling movies I have ever seen. The simple plot is about an American man (Ethan Hawke) who meets a Parisian girl (Julie Delpy) on a train as they travel through Vienna, Austria. The man is flying back to ...

Pros: Hawke and Delpy, simple story, the great setting
Cons: that sunrise seemed to come so early

Love can't be pinned down as an exact science, and we go through life not knowing what is behind the next door, not knowing when love will poke its way into our lives. It can come across our path at anytime, and in anyplace, and that is where the best ...

Pros: Acting. Script.
Cons: Simplicity. A third act decision.

I am a guy who generally shuns romantic movies, but I had always been intrigued by the simple premise of Before Sunrise, a 1995 film about a man and a woman who fall in love literally overnight. I never got around to seeing it until recently, ...

Pros: read the review
Cons: read the review

Is it possible to fall in love in one night? Or in one minute? What about love at first sight? I'm not sure about the latter two, but I do believe the first notion, mostly because "Before Sunrise" proves it can happen. Finally, a film has completely ...

Pros: A simple, obvious, but brilliant romance-plot premise, whose actors have chemisty, charisma, and wit.
Cons: You're watching people talk for 90 minutes, without you getting a word in edgewise.

The videocassette cover of Before Sunrise could easily be mistaken for that of a Harlequin ro ...

Pros: A lot of fun listening to the characters talk about so many different things.
Cons: Ending is a little disappointing.

Filmed in Vienna, Austria, this is a wonderful talk-fest film about two people traveling in Europe by way of train. One is a young American man named Jesse, played by Ethan Hawke. The other is a young French woman named Celine, played by Julie Delpy....

Pros: Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke, the screenplay.
Cons: I wanted to see the play with the cow.

Everybody knows the old chestnuts concerning French girls: they're snooty, world-weary, smoke like chimneys, papery-bodied, always clutching a lit cigarette, were draining full glasses of wine at age 8, lost their virginity at 12. It's every American...

Pros: true to life dialouge, the stars chemistry
Cons: none

I remember seeing the previews to this movie a few years ago, when it first came out. I thought it looked quite cute. It seemed romantic, but that is about all I remembered about the trailer.
Well, last night I was in the video store looking...

Pros: Cool scenery of Vienna
Cons: Comatose pace, uninteresting, irritating

Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy are both good actors, but nothing could help this flat-line script. The incredibly slow pace never changes throughout the entire movie.

Two strangers, Jesse (Hawke), a cocky American & Celine (Delpy), a beautiful...

Pros: The movie's message had depth,as well as romance. The story was easy to follow.
Cons: Unrealistic romance. Romance is unrealistic any way!

I rented this at a video store, not Hollywood Video or Block Busters, but Ultimate Video, where the more independent films are. I saw the cover and the title, and thought I'd give this movie a try. Turns out I actually enjoyed it, so I am giving it my...

Pros: Witty; charming; good acting; awesome chemistry
Cons: Weak plot; not much in way of action

With no big name stars, save Ethan Hawke, and no big budget special effects, Before Sunrise wasn’t ever going to be a blockbuster hit. When I heard the premise, I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but didn’t have anything better to do, so I watched it and I was...

Pros: The wonderful direction of Richard Linkletter, and the acting by Hawke and Delpy.
Cons: can go on a tad too long

I've always had mixed feelings about Valentine's Day; maybe it's because around this time of year, I never have someone to celebrate with. Stop, Jennifer! Don't feel sorry for yourself! Okay, okay, I'm stopping. But I know I'm not the only girl out there...
