Before Sunset

WHAT IF YOU HAD A SECOND CHANCE WITH THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY?

Nine years later, Jesse travels across Europe giving readings from a book he wrote about the night he spent in Vienna with Celine.

Reviews:

  • Athena Bradley
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Richard Velez
    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.
    Rating: 4

  • Estella Ayers
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
    Rating: 3

  • Richard Velez
    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

  • Briggs Perez
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
