Before Sunset (2004) 
No man crush here

I guess this is a fun concept. Two people talking for an entire movie while meandering through Paris. There are some really long takes in here, which impresses me. Though there is nothing of Good Fellas caliber.
What I don’t really like is the dialogue and characters themselves. They came across as staged and artificial. It was a little wearing to watch for a long time straight. Maybe it was just wierd because I don’t have conversations with one person for that long of a time; but these two people who supposedly felt this epic chemistry didn’t seem to feel that strongly about eachother. The whole thing just left me cold.
had you seen before sunrise? i watched both of these last year and was skeptical going in, but the structure of it won me over. everything they were talking about seemed meh to me, but i loved the structure of it enough to ignore that.

i have not seen before sunrise. i enjoyed the simplicity of the concept, but i suspect not as much as you did. And while you seemed to find the dialogue so-so, it had a negative impact on me.
