Before Sunrise
I had extremely high expectations for this film but holy fuck it exceeded them. Started off admiring the wonderful filmmaking, and then weirdly forgot all about that and ended up whisked into this dream-like beautiful romance with two very charismatic leads. Excellent relationship dynamics.
I know I criticised Lady Bird for inserting in deep phrases that felt forced, and while this film does also have a lot of deep lines, it ultimately feels so natural. It’s almost like when you go from having a normal conversation with your friends to talking about something deep but it all feels so natural that you forget how you even got there. Bloody brilliant. Can’t wait to watch the other two. I’ve watched so much peak this year omg
