    Before Sunrise

    ★★★★½

    How effortlessly a conversation can flow, when you have nothing to lose…except that’s the whole point. They did have nothing to lose, it was easy…too easy, so much so that they are now each others - everything. Before sunrise is exactly what it says on the tin….what happens before the sun shines on us, what can we get up to, how can we make this work…before.

Also, Paul dano yet again gave a 10/10 performance, somewhat reminiscent of heath's Joker performance that brought an added chill to the viewing experience. Overall wonderful work and a very solid platform to lay further foundations for the Batman trilogy.

    Half a rewatch (coz I’m fairly certain I never actually finished this film) but really loved this. I think the films that are a bit more touching are really enjoyable coz it reflects who you truly are from your responses. An unlikely rollercoaster of emotions, from adoring Timothee’s character, to feeling so sorry for Mr Carell and his wife ( who by the way put in probably my favourite performance of the film) after they put so much time and…
