Boyhood

Richard Linklater

This immediately jumps into the rarefied category of the greatest films ever made. An unforgettable 12-year portrait of childhood, family life...it captures the texture, the feel of young life as it develops. And sets it in our time, our place.

There are no big events...rather an accumulation of small things...the things that actually make up our lives. The performances were excellent, the script filled with believable moments. I found it emotionally, intellectually engaging and completely satisfying. A superb, courageous undertaking that has paid off beyond my wildest hopes.

A classic.
