Before Midnight

Dir. Richard Linklater · Greece, United States of America · English, French

Everything's better with maturity.

What happens

It has been nine years since we last met Jesse and Celine, the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna. They now live in Paris with twin daughters but have spent a summer in Greece at the invitation of an author colleague of Jesse's. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions, and his relationship with Celine is at risk.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"Unleashing a stream of feminist consciousness that is both outraged and outrageous-and cathartic because we are laughing with her, not at her-Céline emerges as a 21st-century hero and Delpy as the Carole Lombard of our time."

— Amy Taubin

"Predictably, it's just as great as the first two."

— David Jenkins
