They are both in relationships now, and Jesse has a son, but as their strong feelings for each other start to return, both confess a longing for more.
Top critics, in their words
It's a lovely, beguiling little film a rare treat during this overheated season of blockbusters. It's also an unusual example of a follow-up that doesn't seem forced, but expands effortlessly on the original.
The reunion has some lively moments, but a great deal of slow walking and fatuous talking about love, married life and sex.
Shooting in long takes, Linklater and his actors (who get co-screenwriting credit) allow the conversation to curlicue effortlessly from literate banter to matters of the heart, and sometimes to places in between.
Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are a rare case of two movies that rightfully demand yet another sequel.
A richer experience than the original.
