Great movie. Their acting felt so natural it was almost like they were improvising the entire time.

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2017)

A lot of people have praised this movie and told me to watch it because they were so sure I'd like it, but the unromantic that is me always avoided it. I gotta say I have been mistaken. See, the romance certainly adds to it but it's more than just that, it's two people actually talking for a change, y'know? It's not just an illogical physical or emotional attraction, no, it's something else. They are these two different individuals with ideals and opinions and all sorts of different thoughts, and while the movie doesn't really have a purpose or a specific direction that it's headed to, it ends up teaching you a bunch of things.
I can't praise the performance of both Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy enough. They both gave off that confident yet naturally awkward feeling to them. That's what made it much more realistic and engaging. It was almost like you were one of them during that –I must say extremely short– hour and a half. I even found myself participating in their discussions more than once without even realizing. Answering their questions, objecting and agreeing to what they said. Even when I did object, their point of view was as valid as I thought mine was.
If you're one of those people who like, for instance, Marvel's movies or movies that are quick-paced you might find this one torturous. I, for one, like entertaining and adrenaline-pumping movies but still loved it.
A huge applause to Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Kim Krizan and Richard Linklater for writing this amazing script. This was refreshing.
