Before Midnight

Watch it tonight. This is the rare romance that actually grows up with its characters—no fairy tale bullshit, just real couples navigating decades, kids, and the slow erosion of passion. With near-universal critical acclaim, it's the kind of film that'll make you think differently about love.
Plot
It has been nine years since we last met Jesse and Celine, the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna. They now live in Paris with twin daughters but have spent a summer in Greece at the invitation of an author colleague of Jesse's. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions, and his relationship with Celine is at risk.
