Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
BOYHOOD
Synopsis
Filmed over 12 years with the same cast comes this story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason, who literally grows up on screen. It charts the rocky terrain of childhood and is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting.

Our take
Another of his investigations into time, Richard Linklater’s long-haul project was an ambitious 12 years in the making. His patient dedication to authenticity paid off, Boyhood becoming a next-level success for the underrated writer-director and one of the most celebrated films of the decade.
