Review of Boyhood (2014) by Franzhcritic — 09 Aug 2014
An overrated film, exceedingly so. There are several funny moments that are genuinely human and natural. Yet the film is about half an hour too long and the ending fails to accomplish anything. While the concept of the style of filmmaking is brilliant, how does it help the movie? The acting was slightly above average.
The scenes of alcoholic step-fathers and philosophical conversations is completely unnecessary. Linklater is normally a better director than this.
