Featured Film 🎥 Before Midnight [R] picks up nine years after the events in Paris, finding Jesse and Celine in Greece as they navigate the complexities of long-term commitment. In a series of deeply personal and raw conversations, the film strips away the romantic idealism of youth to explore the grit, humor, and compromise required to sustain a life together. It is a masterful, unflinching look at love’s endurance and the reality of "happily ever after."
