Review: Boyhood

I watched the movie Boyhood over the weekend.

For those not in the know, Boyhood is a film by Richard Linklater, chronicling moments in the life of a boy as he goes from ages six to eighteen, filmed over the span of twelve years.

Reread that, because it can be slightly off-putting to the brain until you realize that yes, they filmed tiny segments of the film across twelve years to accurately show this kid growing up.

It has Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Ellar Coltrane, and Lorelai Linklater in a rather blatant display of nepotism (kidding!).

I'll admit, I was thrown off by seeing a younger Patricia Arquette, I kept expecting ghosts to show up any minute.
