Every Richard Linklater Movie, Ranked
Updated March 2022 to add Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood.
First emerging during indie cinema's golden age in the early 1990s, Linklater has (with just a few exceptions) stayed true to his indie (and Austin) roots, earning mostly stellar reviews along the way. While only 4 of his films have grossed more than $10 million, all but two of his features received acclaim from critics, making him one of the finest directors of the past 30 years. In the gallery above, we rank every one of his films from worst to best by Metascore.
Linklater's third film featuring the characters of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy), like its 2004 predecessor, resulted in an Academy Award screenplay nomination for the trio. Once again, nine years have passed in the lives of the two characters, who meet up for a summer vacation in Greece. Critics hailed the result as one of 2013's best films.
“A more-than-worthy, expectations-exceeding chapter in one of modern cinema’s finest love stories. As honest, convincing, funny, intimate and natural as its predecessors.” —Philip Kemp, Total Film
