instituted brilliance.

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2005)

No special effects. No action. No super big name stars. No great scenery. no large cast, in fact it's a cast of two.
One of the best films I've seen in a long time. Marvelously underplayed romantic drama. Writing, acting, directing sublimely subtle. Only drawback, you must see Before Sunset first to get the full effect of this movie. But that's no hardship since that film is just as good. The two masterpieces form a segue. In age of overproduced eye candy this is a welcome relief. It's a modern day version of Marty. The duologue is believable. You really feel for these two. There are really only two characters, but you hardly notice. Their acting could be an exemplar on the craft. The script is engrossing. I can't praise these two films enough. If you remember and liked the film Marty then you'll love there two gems. (The two films and the the two actors Julie Deply and Etan Hawke
