BEFORE MIDNIGHT

Movie:  Before Midnight
Jan's Rating:  B-
Time:  1 Hour 48 Minutes

Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today in Mariemont.  It is the third movie in a trilogy and I have not seen the first two movies, though Bonnie saw number two.  The movie stars Ethan Hawke as Jesse, and Julie Delpy as Celine.  The couple now have twin girls who look to be five or six years old.  The movie starts off with Jesse and his son, Hank, at the airport.  Hank has just spent the summer with his dad and Celine in Greece and is now flying back to Chicago to his mother.  After he leaves, Jesse is full of guilt that he hasn't been there for his son and thinks maybe they should move back to Chicago until his son finishes high school in four more years.  Celine is very much against moving back and is trying to make a decision about her career....should she go back to work to something she enjoys doing but doesn't like the person she would have to work for?  She and Jesse get into a heated argument about all of this which goes on and on, reminding some people how they sound when in the same situation.
