	Author	Review
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"What Mr. Linklater does best here is to come up with conversational gambits that have just the right fancifulness to suit this situation"	POS

United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Before Sunrise' is so much like real life - like a documentary with an invisible camera - that I found myself remembering real conversations I had experienced with more or less the same words (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"It's a lovely and wistful celebration of youth, time and moments of connection -- and about the experience of living in the midst of a simple, perfect day that you know you'll remember for the rest of your life"	POS
United Kingdom	Caroline Westbrook Empire	"Too intelligent to be soppy and too damn good to be ignored (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
