Indie cinema's favourite on screen couple faces a harsh dose of reality in Richard Linklater's latest film.
The third chapter of the popular 'Before..' series, Midnight maintains the same narrative structure as the previous two - we follow these two characters as they meander around a sunny European city while doing little other than talking. But this time, the cracks in their relationship begin to show, and the compromises become too much bear. We watched these characters fall in love in the first two films, so seeing them bogged down by the struggles of marital life becomes all the more heartbreaking to watch.
