Review of Boyhood (2014) by Johnnylee T — 30 May 2016
More Reality TV Than A Movie.
Actors probably enjoyed making this more than the audience does watching it. Maybe it's Hollywood's attempt at reality TV. Novel but mostly boring.
With a better script this experiment could have been great. Why are so many people down on Mason? His sister, his two step-dads, his boss. Gets repetitive.
Highlights: Mason Snr.'s scenes in the car with the kids. One he pulls over to insist they tell him more about their week (since he last saw them) and the second time he gives Mason Jnr a CD compilation of the Beatles' music post-breakup, then gives an interesting analysis of it/them.
