Superb, extraordinary, radiant & rewarding.

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2004)

Mr. Linklater, Mr. Hawke and Ms. Delpy have caught romantic lightning in a bottle with this delectable continuation of Celine and Jesse's life stories.
Rich, ponderous, rewarding. Brave film-making. Courageous acting. It all deserves to be remembered and awarded.
The two standout scenes. One is inside of the sedan with both Jesse and Celine making brief, mutually unnoticed, gestures to console one another. Each reaches out to touch the other but pulls back, hesitant to physically acknowledge what they are mentally feeling. The other is silent as they wind up an apartment building stairway.
I saw this premiere at the LA Filmfest. The crowd seemed touched, but typically Los Angeles in not knowing quite what to do when confronted with a film so deeply felt.
Superb, extraordinary, radiant and utterly, completely, hopelessly, hopefully romantic.
A must see for those who believe that life is fullest in it's details, not it's broad strokes.
