Fish Fosh Film Review: Boyhood. @russell This film will be familiar to everyone. It beautifully portrays life. We have all stared in our own version. This is without doubt my film of the year so far. Its simply BRILLIANT and its BRILLIANCE is simple. Twelve years ago, Richard Linklater (Director) started production on a movie following the development of a child from the age of seven through the end of his teenage years. Epic in scope yet unassuming throughout, Linklaters incredibly involving chronicle marks an unprecedented achievement in fictional storytelling. Shot over the course of 39 days spread across more than a decade, Boyhood is an entirely fluid work that puts the process of maturity under the microscope and analyzes its nuances with remarkable detail. But what is it that make Boyhood so bloody goof. It lies with the smallness of its story, which revolves around the plight of Texan native Mason (Ellar Coltrane) along with his older sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater, the directors daughter) and their divorced parents, Mason Sr. and Olivia (Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette). As we watch this quartet consistently age during the movies justifiable 164 minute length, the subtle qualities of change become steadily crystallized. Whats the point? I sure as shit dont know, says Masons dad. Were all just winging it. Boyhood shows the bird in flight and makes us look at it afresh. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy. Fish Fosh Rating. FFF MUST SEE IN ALL ITS NEARLY 3 HOURS GLORY.
