Before Midnight

Before Midnight is a film that portrays the reality of romance in a way most films often don’t dare to show. It shows the flaws in Jessie and Celine’s characters that were present in the other movies but never truly focused on. After a third watch of this film, I’ve finally come out and had the balls to raise it to 5 stars. I think any aspiring filmmaker that wants to learn about dialogue should watch this trilogy of films and focus on the use of dialogue in this film to tell us so much about the characters through their reactions, facial expressions and mannerisms when they speak or are spoken to. Ethan Hawke is my undisputed GOAT and always will be. 🥹
