4 stars (Very Good) Jesse and Celine are young tourists who meet on a train, and spend a magical and spontaneous evening and night getting to know one another intimately on the streets of Vienna. A totally engaging 90's romance. ~GenXGirl

5 stars (Exceptional) Boy meets Girl, stripped to it's essence: they walk and talk and fall in love. By virtue of sharp writing, unobtrusive direction, and pitch-perfect performances, it makes for a captivating, refreshing, unshakable film that leaves you glowing. ~fairbrother

5 stars (Exceptional) A lovely film, intelligent, witty and compassionate. Along with its successor, BEFORE SUNSET, provides a realistic portrayal of human relations. Spontaneous dialogue added by the two young actors enriches the script and adds credibility. ~Sandy
