Just when you think a sequel isn't needed...

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2013)

It's hard for a sequel to live up to it's predecessor. Many times it doesn't manage to capture the essence nor the feelings of the previous movie. But this time, director Richard Linklater, with the help of these two incredible actors (Hawke and Delpy), manage to do the impossible. This movie is as good as, or maybe even better, than Before Sunrise. I don't think it's better because I can't even see one dissociated from the other. Both are needed for a complete experience and one without the other is like bread without peanut butter.
First of, the writing is perfect. It flows naturally between dialogues, and it keeps you interested in the destiny of this couple from start to finish - which is hard in a movie that depends only on the conversation and interactions between two people.
Second, the acting of Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy and their chemistry is almost scary. You feel for them and you relate with them in a certain way that is very rare is movies. In "Sunrise", it was palpable that feeling of falling in love. Now, it's the feeling of never forgetting that you can capture from the screen.
And it's simply beautiful.
