Nine years ago two strangers met by chance and spent a night in Vienna that ended before sunrise. They are about to meet for the first time since. Now they have one afternoon to find out if they belong together.

There's a moment about halfway through Before Sunset that I can't get out of my mind. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) are sitting in a Parisian café, and she lights up a cigarette.

Fifty percent of that is because of how all your morals slowly go out the door and you lose yourself in this absolute mess of a relationship. The question “is this gonna end how I think it is?” in the back of my mind the entire time and eventually getting hit with a fade-to-black that holds the cockiness of a mic drop.
