Dad's Preview:
This is one of the most honest, enduring romance films I have
ever encountered. It is a refreshing story consisting mostly of the
young pair's
candid conversations over 24 hours. It's unforced, intimate and incredibly real.
This is the result of the steady direction of Richard Linklater, and incredible performances by Julie Delpy
and Ethan Hawke. We cannot help but become intimately
involved in this one day love affair. The good news?
There are two amazing sequels. |
