Sal Fia - well made and shot with unique angle - mostly shot in close up backround blurred sometimes longish shots
well made details and compositions and well acted by protagonist but still somehow lacking
between ok and decent 3.4/10



: o my favorite i think iirc

It's not bad but it's too similar to the much much better film Day for Night.

5 / 10, would have rated higher if I hadn't seen Day for Night.

Before Midnight (2013)
Excellent! It's been a while since I watched the 2 prior entries, but I think this has the best, most well-rounded and mature writing. The acting is also noteworthy.

great or very good iirc very positive surprise

It honestly surprised me; I don't mean I was expecting something sub-par - the other 2 are good films in their own right - but I was expecting something more or less the same. Midnight surpassed those 2 in in terms of depth of characterization (see the excellent hotel scene) and both actors elevated their performances.

I also watched Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), which shares somewhat of a kinship to Cassavetes' own Opening Night - Opening Night-lite, if you will - but lacks the depth of that film's central character. It's a good, solid little film, mostly due to the acting of Binoche.
