Review of Boyhood (2014) by Oolevityoo — 24 Aug 2014
Incomparable. this film is by no means "perfect" in terms of 'enjoyment from watching', but I think that's the point, it's like a documentary of normal life. It takes on an epic task of recounting childhood linearly with honesty.
It may not be as eventful as you wanted, a little dry in places, flat in the ending but if you want an honest portrayal of Westernized coming-of-age then that to me is pretty close to how it would look.
For me, not as emotionally moving as Linklater's other works but leaves you reflective and slightly nostalgic.
