My take
Perfect movie. No notes. Sometimes you love something so much and never want to see anything like it again because it won't live up to the original. Well, Ale and I just watched the full trilogy of Before Sunrise; and going into Blue Moon I had no idea it was a super similar Ethan Hawke performance of just walking and talking. Once it was, despite loving it from the beginning I assumed there'd be no way they could pull it off to the Before Sunrise level. But boy did they. The confines of the bar helped so much, taking you from the bar, to the table, to the bathroom, to the coatroom. Yet still feeling small yet big. I didn't know dialogue could do so much. I haven't loved something in art like this since Amor Towles.
