Review: Boyhood is the most rewarding film I have seen at Sundance Film Festival. Linklater somehow manages to authentically capture 12 years of life experiences into a beautiful and moving 3 hour film. You feel a genuine connection with these characters as you watch them literally age right before your eyes. The Q&A afterward with Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Richard Linklater was incredible. Something tells me this is the movie everyone will be talking about throughout the year and I cant wait to see it again.the version I saw actually wasnt finished. There was no background audio, the credits werent done and there was no musical score - just a few temporary songs used to tell the audience what year it was (though I am praying they keep the arcade fire song, it made the ending absolutely perfect) I am also really curious what stuff they will edit out. 3-hour films consisting of pure dialog really dont sell well... Even still, it feels like one coherent piece thats epic in every way. |
