Very Cool!!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

In the beginning , i thought that Im gonna see a happy ending , or purpose of his life, or what he wanna be. But, i just saw he is smiling. Not mean anything. I thought they filmed about his succes or something in the end of movie

I loved Richard Linklater's approach with filming the movie. The audience literally sees a kid grow up on screen. This movie is not for the average movie goer. Most people these days watch movies to either see explosions or to get a laugh. I can see how some may think of Boyhood as boring, but I found it interesting. During the movie I felt attached to the characters and I would say that the characters are the most important part of this film. I am not an emotional person, but I found myself tearing up at a scene where Ethan Hawke's character is playing football with his two kids in a park. The scene was simple yet touching. It's these little moments that make Boyhood special. The only disappointment I had with the film was the acting, particularly with Lorelei Linklater (who plays Samantha). Lorelei Linklater was bland.

Interesting concept and epic fail no lessons learned no heart no nothing. Oh what could have been....the mom and daughter try to

(Minor spoilers possible)The worst part of the movie was for me probably the ending, as it was open-ended and I feel like many of the lifelines demanded a stronger closure. Especially the protagonist's sister's life got left out of the story starting halfway.It had a potential esp. thanks to the longterm recording, but the main idea isn't quite there. What this movie does right at places is leading us through the contrast of how people change through growing up and how exactly the situations change around them. The characters felt flat at times (the mid part gets us the most involved) and towards the end even out of nowhere nihilistic, which struck me as overdone at places. I must say I loved the part with the teacher about the art giving him the waking-up call.The movie ends as the protagonist enters the college and I feel like it could've been better if they just waited for him to enter the stage of a working adult (how did his career and personal life turns up after everything he's gone through, hm?)So all in all, watch for the minor events that show life contrasting during different periods while growing up, but be ready for rather a slow movie with boring passages and mediocre ending.
