    10 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Before Sunset" is a fantastic film for everyone. Even for newcomers. For those who have seen and enjoyed the original, this is something truly special. And for anyone who calls themselves a romantic, "Before Sunset" is absolutely essential.

  • 5. Ciné
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: In my opinion, this is the best thing that has happened to the romantic genre in years, and if we're lucky, there will be another sequel with the same fantastic concept in nine years.
    - Jesper Åkerlind

  • 6. Svenska Dagbladet
    6.7 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The encounter happens in real time as he and she wander aimlessly through the streets, drinking coffee, taking a sightseeing boat, chatting about everything and nothing, stealing glances when the other looks away, throwing out hints and testing the waters. Richard Linklater has managed to capture that slightly desperate feeling of time slipping through your fingers and the need to talk, talk, talk and fit everything in before it's time to check in the luggage again.
    - Karoline Eriksson

  • 7. Expressen
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: When Richard Linklater reveals the cracks in Jesse and Celine's social facades, we finally see them as whole human beings beyond all the chatter. Julie Delpy is therefore outstanding in the final half hour, and her imitation of Nina Simone is absolutely delightfully charming.
    - Mats Bråstedt

  • 8. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It's interesting at certain moments, boring at others. The idea doesn't quite hold up for a full-length feature film.
    - Björn G Stenberg
