Before Midnight

i’ve kinda been slacking on my movie watching so that might’ve affected my experience watching this, but it just didn’t have quite the same magic as the first two. there were certainly scenes where i was drawn into the conversations that jesse and celine were having and i was absolutely charmed in other scenes, but for the most part this one felt a bit more tedious than the previous films. obviously relationships are very complicated, but it almost seemed like near the end misunderstandings were being created just to keep a dialogue going and to increase tension when it didn’t feel necessary. it’s probably very realistic but it just isn’t my favorite thing to watch. i’m so glad that i finally got around to watching this trilogy though, it was totally worthwhile!
