Review: The 'Before' trilogy

Billed as the lowest grossing trilogy of all-time, this beautiful modern romance has created quite a cult following.
After the surprise success Before Sunrise in 1995, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have given us characters that we just do not want to stop walking and talking.
The whole trilogy is just pure script and it never gets tired. It is a love story we can all relate to in terms of the topics these two unexpected lovers manage to talk about.

With the much deserved awards success for Before Midnight in 2013, who knows, we might a fourth installment in 2024 due to each installment being released every nine years?

Before Sunrise - An incredibly brave and surprisingly honest way how to look at relationships. Everything about this surprised people. The right amount of emotion and charm made this chance meeting story a really heart-warming one that is perfect for Valentine's Day or even any day with your loved one.

Rating: 8/10

Before Sunset - Nine years after the release of Sunrise, we now have Sunset. After their incredible night in Vienna, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy's characters reunite in France.

The long talking that looks like one single take is still enjoyable to watch, the script writing continues to hook you in and the development of their relationship remains to be intriguing and easily relatable.

Rating: 8/10

Before Midnight - Another nine years has past and our two lovers are now in Greece.
The magic in their relationship and the script is highly creative and very interesting.

If pushed, it is probably my least favorite. But believe me I still highly recommend this as it really completes the story of their love story.

Rating: 8/10
