mmbtv: Before Midnight.

In 1995, there was Before Sunrise.

Then in 2001 came a short in Waking Life.

Next up was Before Sunset in 2004.

The latest film in the decades-long collaboration among Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy is 2013's Before Midnight, just recently released on DVD and Blu-Ray.

James Berardinelli of Reelviews gave it an astonishing 4/4 rating, noting

Jean-Luc Godard famously stated that "The cinema is truth at 24 frames per second." Often, when faced with overproduced blockbusters and special effects laden mainstream fare, it's easy to forget that. It takes something like Before Midnight to remind us of what "truth" means. It's a delicate thing, easily missed either in whole or in part. There's nothing wrong with escapism; I love many escapist motion pictures. But it's a rare and powerful thing to confront something honest and real on the big screen. It stays with you in a way that nothing else can. Before Midnight is fiction but it might as well be a documentary.
