Review of Boyhood (2014) by Night4 — 17 May 2017
Way, WAY, too long and vastly overrated. Probably the most overrated movie of all time now.
Cons: All of the other actors outshine the boy in every scene. Almost every scene is disconnected from the rest of the movie. It's way too long.
Pros: Partway through, you realize how much this kid has changed, not just in appearance, but in how he acts too. I saw a lot of myself in him, and sort of felt like I knew him because I watched him grow up.
I do see the appeal, in a way, but the cons are pretty big ones.
