The lean 76 minute running time might have something to do with it but also I found the story more intriguing since I didn't know how it would turn out. I mean, listening to two attractive people flirt with each other is fine but, like most of Linklater's "talky" films it kind of grows old on me. But it felt very authentic and conversational and I liked seeing Paris and hearing how each character has grown and reacted to the events of the first film and I certainly felt a palpable yearning for them to be together. I also like that it languishes in a similar yet distinctly different specific emotion as the first. To be more specific, I feel like the first film captures that electric catching instant connection with someone where time melts away and you are together with that person in a bubble floating through time and space and this one is one big awkward conversation where you each share feelings together but you both also know that logic and life are keeping you apart. I have no idea what the third film will explore.
