Review of Boyhood (2014) by Dan G — 03 Mar 2015

Okay, not a bad movie but I don't get the hype. If it weren't for the concept of filming over the life of a a child actor watching him grow up, which was truly unique, there is nothing to this movie.

I was hoping that there would be something cathartic, profound, ... Something. But there was essentially no plot. Absolutely fantastic performances, great cinematography, cool concept, poor execution that relies too much on the timeline gimmick.
