Boyhood

A unique project with no equal in cinematic history. With BOYHOOD, Richard Linklater shares an intimate story of epic proportions. Filmed over a 12-year period with the same actors, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD captures the astonishing details of Mason's (Ellar Coltrane) youth. In a moving coming-of-age story, we not only see Mason evolve from young man to man; we also follow his sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) and their divorced parents, Olivia (Patricia Arquette) and Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke). As the years go by, we see how they cope with new phases in their lives and how the bonds that unite them evolve. A superb, heartwarming portrait in which we can see ourselves. BOYHOOD depicts how each of them evolves and forges his or her own identity, while evoking family life and the inevitable passage of time.
