Boyhood
Shot over 12 years at regular intervals, Richard Linklater's film captures a boy's development into a young adult.
Overview
People make claims about films being unique all the time, but in this case it might just be true. Shot over 12 years at regular intervals, Richard Linklater's film Boyhood captures the protagonist Mason's development from childhood into early adulthood. Mason is impressively played by Ellar Coltrane and Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette take up the roles of his estranged parents.
We watch as his parents form new relationships, step-siblings come on the scene, friendships are formed and lost and the boy grows up before our eyes. What's more the world changes around them. Over the course of the film we see political allegiances shift from red to blue, iPhones become ubiquitous and smoking banned in restaurants. A memorable work of subtle brilliance.
