Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleIt's a lovely and wistful celebration of youth, time and moments of connection -- and about the experience of living in the midst of a simple, perfect day that you know you'll remember for the rest of your life.
ReelViews - 10/10 by James BerardinelliBefore Sunrise speaks as much to the mind as to the heart, and much of what it says is likely to strike a responsive chord -- a rare and special accomplishment for any motion picture.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Christopher HarrisBefore Sunrise is a film that first startles you with its simplicity, then bowls you over with its complexity.
Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealHawke and Delpy keep the tone not only afloat but mesmerizing. So natural are their performances that it seems impossible not to believe they truly are soulmates who are locked in a doomed, all-too-short affair.
LarsenOnFilm - 10/10 by Josh Larsen...a bittersweet celebration of romantic frisson - the notion that our most precious moments of connection are often the fleeting ones.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 10/10 by Tim BraytonThe combination of optimism, tragedy, and the fuzzy warmth of new love is absolutely flawless.
Film and Felt - 10/10 by Gabe LeibowitzLinklater hasn't just crafted a detached portrait of a unique couple: he's painting a masterful examination of human nature, of that relationship we all want, but too often sadly see slip away.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumRichard Linklater goes Hollywood (1995) -- triumphantly and with an overall intelligence, sweetness, and romantic simplicity that reminds me of wartime weepies like The Clock.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanIf Linklater goes to a bit of an extreme here, it's in making both characters so intelligent and sincere, so ardent and giving, that they seem a little too good to believe.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenWatching and listening to these two is a charming experience; their conversation has the ring of veracity, and rarely does the viewer's interest stray.
