Brief Nitpick

Before Sunset blew me away emotionally enough- there's about fifteen minutes that's about as emotionally raw as I think a film can be that I haven't really composed a response as yet, but I just want to note that J. Hoberman in his positive review of the film refers to Hawke as :

The movie opens with Jesse[Ethan Hawke], no longer goateed

Not only is Ethan Hawke still goateed (it's the exact same kind of meticulously scruffy Fu Manchu that he had in the first film), but he's goateed in the still from the film accompanying the article- hard to see from the angle his face is at, but still definitely there.
