Plot: Director Richard Linklater continues his streak of films that take place over the course of one day (after SLACKER and DAZED AND CONFUSED) with this romantic tale of two twenty-somethings who meet each other on a train headed to Vienna. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is a self-involved American with a Eurorail pass, and Celine (Julie Delpy) is a beautiful French student who is headed back to Paris. After spending time getting to know each other in the lounge car, Jesse takes the plunge and asks Celine to spend the day with him in Vienna, since his plane doesn’t leave for the States until the next morning. She consents, and the couple spends the next 24 hours walking the gorgeous streets of Vienna, becoming even closer as they share stories from their pasts and hopes for their futures.

Call it what you want. Date film. Think piece. For the guys, your girlfriend will adore you for watching this, and you get to look at the lovely and talented Julie Delpy. Girls, your guy will get wrapped up in the characters as much as you will. (And check out Ethan Hawke in the process.) "Before Sunrise" will not fail to either party; this is one of the best romantic comedies ever made.  --Jason Whyte (eFilmCritic.com)
