There has never been another movie like Boyhood, from director Richard Linklater . An event film of the utmost modesty, it was shot over the course of twelve years in the director s native Texas and charts the physical and emotional changes experienced by a child named Mason , his divorced parents , and his older sister . Alighting not on milestones but on the small, in-between moments that make up our lives, Linklater fashions a flawlessly acted, often funny portrait that flows effortlessly from one year to the next. Allowing us to watch people age on film with documentary realism while gripping us in a fictional narrative of exquisite everydayness, Boyhood has a power that only the art of cinema could harness.
