Review of Boyhood (2014) by The D — 03 Nov 2015
Kudos to Linklater for attempting this project. He pulls it off to a large extent. It's a little too long for my taste, which I only mention because I think there is a lot that could have been cut here.
That said, this movie works as intended. I do not understand the adulation for Patricia Arquette; she seems to sleep-walk through this movie. That said, the rest of the cast (in particular Ethan Hawke) are outstanding.
The lame politics could have been omitted. The film is definitely a tribute to the teaching profession. Near the best picture for me in this very weak this year, but a little more focus could have made it #1.
