Review of Boyhood (2014) by Mateusshields — 09 Aug 2015
Boyhood is acclaimed for being original, but because it's new and different it doesn't mean it's good, and honestly that's about al Boyhood has going for it. Sure there are some good things, Patricia Arquette for example, but otherwise it's slow, dull, uneventful and boring.
It's a nice idea, but the only time in the film where my interest was mildly spiked was when the glass is thrown and maybe the next 10 minutes. Originality does not compensate for the 3 hour waste of time Boyhood is.
At even at that Boyhood isn't that original, it's essentially does what a TV series does, only that compressed into three hours, without any significant comedy or drama, with dull and generally annoying characters and a generic story.
