I like other stuff Richard Linklater’s done, but I was disappointed by this. I kept wishing Ethan Hawke would shut his mouth so I could enjoy the movie. His portrayal of Jesse brought new meaning to the word smarmy. Julie Delpy was convincing, which only made Ethan that much more annoying.
There’s better movies where people sit around and talk about life, love, fear, death, etc. I was thinking through the whole movie that this was the French New Wave gone yuppie.
