Richard Linklater made a triumphant return to Sundance with Before Midnight – the third part of his decades-spanning romantic saga that began with Before Sunrise (which premiered at the 1995 festival).
The film catches up with lovebirds Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) on holiday in an idyllic Greek village, now middle-aged parents of twin daughters.
Co-written by Linklater, Hawke and Delpy, Midnight boasts an impressively high hit-rate of zingers but also digs new emotional depths, as past mistakes and Celine’s neurotic temper threaten to put the brakes on the couple’s relationship.
Exquisitely shot and intimately captured, this trilogy-closer is an impressive showcase for its stars matured performances, perfectly recapturing their spiky, back-and-forth dynamic.

Of course, in the real world, most porn addicts wouldn't bag someone like Johansson. At least I think. You'd more than likely end up with the 50 cigs a day 30 year old with 17 kids who looks like she's 55.

I truly cannot give a s**t when people say Radcliffe is good in a movie, it is physically impossible.

Fruitvale won the Grand Jury Prize and should definitely be number one; i was there in the theater during the first showing of it and everybody was in tears.
