Richard Linklater is an American treasure. If you have seen his films: Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight - hold on to your heart strings and find an Independent cinema that is showing his marvelous film, Boyhood. Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke give magnificent performances as divorced parents of the central character named Mason. Like many groundbreaking works of art, “Boyhood” is deceptively simple. One of the most extraordinary films in decades, this family drama is also one of the most ambitious in scope, having taken more than a decade to shoot. Yet it comes across as effortless and unassuming. “Boyhood” is an epic masterpiece that seems wholly unconcerned with trying to be one. Shooting in sequence over the course of 12 years, director Richard Linklater chronicles the life of a Texas boy named Mason (Ellar Coltrane) in the formative years from ages 7 through 19. His maturation is complicated, often funny, sometimes painful, but always credible. This movie will affirm your belief in our nations young people. Yes, the American Family is alive and well in the heartland. - Sandy Gaines imdb/title/tt1065073/
