Review of Boyhood (2014) by Thurm33 — 20 Feb 2015
Ground-breaking movie project but I agree with some other users that this should not be the only reason why the film gets over the top reviews. If you do not take into account the effort made in creating this film, it turns out to be a better-than-average one, but not best a best-of-year film.
It is a good luck at the reality of parenting and childhood these days, the struggles that fall on both sides, but there are some parts that don't seem to really go anywhere. Overall, it's a humbling, emotional, empathetic and thoughtful film but may be a bit too long and "pointless" without a plot to appeal to most audiences.
It helps to go in with the notion of the effort that this film required, which helps you appreciate it more.
