Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

dyak43 The first film in this series was a great re-visit of the type of special chance meeting and shared experience that many of us live for in our youth. Pleasant characters, good chemistry, great to watch them explore a new city with interesting (and supportive) strangers. The second film was needed for closure - interesting enough, but more predictable. Nothing too special about the story, but well done and I enjoyed it. This last film was simply tedious and depressing. If not a part of this ongoing story, then I would not have sat through it all. I disagree strongly with the other reviewers who claim this represents realism and maturity. Not unless your life is filled with complaining and expectations that they world will work to serve you happiness. I don't want to include "spoilers" but suffice to say that Ethan Hawke's character was going way beyond most people's (realistic) tolerance to help a miserable situation, maybe due to the history he had with Delpy's character?

zaric-nina For two whole hours, nothing happens in this movie. It is full of completely pseudo intellectual conversation that doesn't lead anywhere. Don't be like me and waste your time on this movie.

brehnk Can't get enough of awkwardly sitting at the dinner table while your married friends bicker? Well do we have a special treat for you. Your least favorite cinematic couple is back with a vengeance in Before 3: The Duel at Midnight. Not only do you get the grandiose, adolescent philosophizing you've grown to know and love from the first two films, Linklater now treats you to extended real-time couples' arguments with one special added bonus: you can't get up and leave the room.If you're in the middle of the 'Before' series, it's not too late to stop now. If you haven't started yet, save yourself. Your hipster film student friends have no taste and you're not missing a thing.

spitfire2356 This dialogue-athon, at first tempted me to find something else. However the script and acting was so good, that thankfully, I held on. The play meandered languidly but inexorably towards a classic male chauvinist - feminist civilized if painful skirmish. There is a backdrop of parental guilt and angst as well as an interweaving of different philosophical points of view to make it really captivating. Just when you think that the script is fizzling out, the elephant in the room suddenly accelerates into a head on argument. The male point of view was presented consistently and credibly true to life. The frustration from continual rebuttal of honest love was exquisitely bitter sweet both when dealing with his son and as well with his partner. The woman questions why she is continually sacrificing her career by hanging on to a traditional ambitious paternalistic man and the different push and pull of duty and love for her and step kids. This is brought to a head with the sudden looming possibility of being forced to throw away a tantalizing job. This flips a resentful defensive feminist bitchiness switch. However the switch keeps wavering and turns out to be a heartfelt cry for help. Wonderful.
