Making the dialogue ring true is difficult, but they pull it off. Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke were great per usual. My Dinner with Andre) it is independent of those influences. Even if the film borrows heavily from other great movies (e.g. The viewer is given a wonderful sense of dread as the bank approaches in the background, because we know what is going to happen when the ride ends, and like the characters, we don't want it to end either. However, we the viewer can see what the characters either don't see or don't want to see, that the boat is crossing over the river to its destination and the departure no one wants to deal with. For instance, towards the end of the movie, after these "lovers" are fighting the clock (because Ethan Hawke's character needs to catch a flight) and are cruising down the river, they are so engrossed in their conversation and the fact that they are trying to get so much out of the last few minutes they don't notice their ride is coming to an end.

When "Before Sunset" was released, she did not show up either. Like Jesse in "Before Sunset", Linklater was secretly hoping that Amy had heard of the movie, and would show up at the premiere, but she did not. In 1994, Linklater shot Before Sunrise (1995), based on his night with Amy. Though they initially stayed in touch over the telephone, they lost contact eventually.
