Before Sunrise

Stellar writing and direction. I wasn’t fully sold at the very beginning because it felt a little rushed and inorganic. As the story progressed, however, I started to be so engrossed in the dialogue and the moments being shared. I especially love the last shots attesting to the roles of ephemerality and discovery in the context of what it is to have meaning. These empty, quiet venues at the end are full of memories of stories told, looks exchanged, and the ever-growing worry of what the sunrise brings.
