The most realistic dialogue I have heard in years

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

Some movies take us far away from our lives, showing exciting action scenes and building up characters with dramatic violence. This is not one of those movies.
This is a movie for people who want to watch real life unfold on the screen. What makes this movie great is not the subject, reclaiming lost love/connection (I haven't seen Before Sunrise, I have to admit), but the honest and real way that the dialogue unfolds. Once you have seen the movie you want to go back and watch it again because it is like talking to an old girlfriend you have known more then half your life. You can tell when she is hiding something, tell when she is trying to block herself off emotionally, know that there are more feelings underneath her quiet charm then she will ever reveal. I haven't even seen the first movie but I feel as though I truly know these characters.
This is a highly intellectually, emotionally involved plot made for (and seemingly by) persons who know what its like to have lingering thoughts, doubts and fears about a person that could have been "the one". A must see for anyone who isn't the grinch and has read a book in the last year.
