10 Movies to See Before Getting Married
3. Before Midnight
This is the kind of film you watch if you’re looking at what’s going to happen after the big day. The final third of a fascinating trilogy by Richard Linkletter-a trilogy that followed the couple through their first meeting in Vienna, to their second meeting as married parents, to their life after they finally got together-stars a sensational Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as the central couple. Facing middle age after years together, they each begin to separately question what it is that brought them together in the first place-and what is keeping them together now. Melancholic and bittersweet, it’s an intelligent film for the two leads.
