I like loosely-plotted or even plot-free movies, so that wasn't my problem with Before Sunset. My problem with it was that it was boring. Two boring people saying boring things is boring.

I'm a fan of Raymond Carver (and of Lost in Translation), so character-centric stuff is fine by me. But these two people were so self-involved and lacking in anything that compelled me to watch that I was starting to get physically uncomfortable just sitting there listening to them prattle on about nothing.

I had that reaction to 'My Dinner With Andre'. If you ever get a chance see Linklater's 'Waking Life'. 'Before Sunset' with academics...and animated. I loved it but many find it sheer torture. :-)
