An average movie

After watching the trailer for this movie, I pretty much already knew what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Jim Broadbent, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, if Richard Linklater might make a 4th installment of his 'Before...' franchise, it might look like this movie, which was reinforced by the fact that Lindsay Duncan really looked like an older version of Julie Delpy. Still, even if it was a decent watch, to be honest, it never really reached the level of Linklater's stellar franchise. I won't blame Broadbent or Duncan though as they both delivered some solid performances but, unfortunately, their characters were not really interesting or, at least, not interesting enough. Even more problematic was the way they kept arguing about everything and nothing every 5 minutes which became fairly annoying rather quickly. I mean, in my opinion, it is fairly simple. Either they mostly love each other and it makes sense that they go to Paris but, then, they shouldn't have such pathetic arguments. Or they can't stand each other anymore, then it makes sense that they have such pathetic arguments but why on Earth would they go together to Paris? Of course, you could argue that it is what a realistic long relationship would look like and, eventually, it seems that the makers couldn't make up their mind about what they should feel for each other. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really groundbreaking, it was still fairly entertaining and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
