Low expections

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2020)

So, I have to be honest. I saw this movie just because it is in IMDB Top 250, and I want to see them all. I was not expecting much, but I was surprised in a good way by this movie.
The story feels real, nevertheless the beginning could easily be the one of an horror movie where the girl is kidnaped and tortured. Fortunately Jesse is not a bad guy, and you should be more careful Celine!
The timeframe of the movie is amazing, it's almost like we see all the steps from one afternoon and night of the pair in 1h40min, passing by some landmarks. The scene switches are well made and you almost don't notice them, with exception for the scene in the park at night.
Eventually the film ends with an open ending. I imagine the frustration and the critics coming from people who watch this movie back in 95. For me it was no big deal, because I can watch the second movie right away, and right away I did watch Before Sunset.
