Plot: A decade later, Jesse and Celine meet up again in France. Jesse is in Paris for a book tour, which happens to visit Celine's favorite bookstore. They hook up and walk around Paris, talking about what happened since they last saw each other. Their lives took on different forms, but they never were able to forget about their first meeting.

A worthy sequel. Where the first film had a youthful and vibrant energy Before Sunset feels a bit more sedate and mature. The characters have grown up, they're already regretting some of their past choices and they're dealing with the consequences. Still, romance hasn't completely left them yet.
The conversations are pleasant, but a little forced at times. And the walk through Paris is nice, but also a little cheesy (it's an American and romanticized view for sure). Other than that, this is a lovely little film. There's no fat to trim, the characters are given a new dimension and the ending is once again perfect.
