This film has touched me in a way no other film ever has before (or likely ever will again).
It spoke to and connected with me on a fundamental level that I never knew cinema could reach. This truly is a masterpiece and anyone, anywhere can relate to this and smile, laugh and cry at it because it is so quintessentially relatable.
This film explores the concept of life, something which is both incredibly difficult and risky to do; but don't worry, it does it expertly and makes you forget any doubts you may have had.
It has made me look back on my own childhood and relive it both through my own eyes and through those of the people who love me the most. It forced me to ask myself: as I was growing up, what were my parents thinking to themselves as they saw me mature and transform into an adult?
And it has given me a look into my future as well. I now know how beautiful, perfect and somewhat tragic it will be to have children and watch them grow from small, curious, imaginative children into thoughtful, mature and independent adults.
Everything from the cast to the cinematography is stellar and unbeatable. Even the soundtrack is perfect!
And let's not forget perhaps the most amazing thing about the entire film: it is filmed over the course of twelve years with the same actors. This means you literally get to watch these characters grow up on screen. It's incredulous yet also heartbreaking because it truly forces us to come to the realisation that life is not a timeless experience and it does indeed end for us all. Whether we like it or not, one day we will look back and inevitably ask ourselves: where on earth did the time go?
Get out there and make the most of your life - because you'd better believe it's too short. That is what this film whispers to you as it touches your soul.
I'm still thinking about this film. And I know I will be weeks, months, likely even years from now. It has so many life lessons and moments we all have in our lives that we will cherish forever and it manages to sculpt them all together into this gorgeous and immaculate work of art.
Thank you Mr. Linklater and all of those who played a part in making this masterpiece come to life. I have struggled for years to select a film to christen my favourite of all time; however this struggle is now over.
Boyhood is my favourite film of all time. It is beautiful, utterly thought-provoking, emotionally engaging, and different. Which is perhaps the most unbelievable part of it all; whilst emphasising to the viewer how similar we all are and how we all go through this very same process of growing up, this film manages to stand out.
It is no wonder this film has won three Golden Globes and will undoubtedly win several Oscars as well.
If there is any film in all of existence every person on the planet should make a point of viewing, it's this one.
