Thanks for posting this mate - been meaning to watch the trailer - the hype has been pretty big surrounding this film. Looks solid

Re: Boyhood [2014]

Yeah, me too!

This line grabbed my attention

"Boyhood" is every bit as technically impressive as Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity," but with the added bonus of having an actual story and characters. "

Gravity is amazing, so .. this is quite the statement

Must check this out too

Re: Boyhood [2014]

I think the effects would be even more profound if you grew up with a sibling.. I didn't so I feel like I missed out on that aspect of the story.

Its amazing how they managed to cover such a broad spectrum of human life in two and a half hours or so... but then again filming it for 12 years helps with that I guess : )

I have only one remark really.. I don't think that it will translate very well trough different cultures around the world. Its very much based on the American way of life, which is perfectly fine, its just that it won't be able to reach as deep if you haven't been exposed to a lot of what they show...

You would love the first 20-30mins then.. pure..magical .. childhood

Twelve years really is thematic history. I'm going to see it this week... trying to get to the theater. Is it sweet or sweet & sad? Because I'm not into sad/heart-wrenching movies right now.

Is it similar to Tree of Life? I enjoyed that film.

Yes, in some ways it is.. and if you liked Tree of Life you would like this one as well I think

I thought it was good, too long, but good. I didn't think it was great or amazing. i enjoyed it, and there were some great moments for sure. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Overhyped and yet not overrated.
