I’m traumatized with this amazing movie that it’s just so sweet and really touches your heart
Dialogue is captivating, relatively realistic chances of re-meeting, a beautiful movie again!
Richard Linklater has yet to come out with a film that disappoints me. Truly incredible and organic.
A tune in the air, a scent on the breeze, a drifting phrase. The past rushes around you in a half-hearted embrace. But you can't step away.
The gimmick of being told in real time is such a cool idea, and selling it with extremely long takes really makes them feel like lovers.
this one has a more realistic tone to it. still good to watch but kind of loose the essence of the first 2 movies.
All the trilogy is very realistically shows love at its different stages
One of my all time favorite movies, and a top 5 ending to a movie. A story of love, regret, and ambition.
Just as good as the first. One conversation that goes on from beginning to end. Lovely.
Atmospheric and profound though not a lot happens
