Review: Before Sunrise

Available here.

Damn good movie. Before Sunrise serves up dialogue and performances that could have been stolen from your own life. Most impressively of all, for such a formless, free-floating movie, there’s a clear narrative drive swimming beneath the surface: where’s this going? Will there be a tomorrow?

I’m not kidding about that thing about how it’ll affect couples, either. By about halfway in, my girlfriend and I were reminiscing about how we first met, about our first date. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are so convincing it’s hard not to be transported back to that first amazing day.

Unless you’re single. But I’m sure Real Dolls are more affordable by the day.
