=== Realism in Acting and Dialogue === The naturalistic performances by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, who co-wrote the screenplay with director Richard Linklater, have been praised for their authenticity and spontaneous quality. The actors’ collaborative approach to developing dialogue has influenced how performances can blur the line between fiction and reality, making conversations feel organic and genuine.<ref name=":4">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Ryan Alexander |year=2022 |title=Realism in Richard Linklater's 'Before' Trilogy |url=https://film-cred.com/before-trilogy-ethan-hawke-julie-delpy-richard-linklater/ |access-date=March 9, 2025 |website=Film Cred}}</ref> This naturalism and authenticity extend to performance style, characterized by subtle gestures, realistic interruptions, and emotional nuances. Film critics and academics have often linked Linklater's approach to that of European filmmakers, notably Éric Rohmer, whose films similarly prioritize natural dialogue and everyday realism.<ref name=":5">{{cite web |last=Romney |first=Jonathan |year=2013 |title=Eric Rohmer's influence on 2013 film, from ''Before Midnight'' to ''Frances Ha'' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/aug/11/eric-rohmer-influence-before-midnight |access-date=March 9, 2025 |website=The Guardian}}</ref>
