Boyhood is not your typical movie.This is a kind of movie we only get once in a while and when we get it, it's very good. Boyhood walks us through the life of Mason (Ellar Coltrane) from when he is a little boy until he graduates from high school and starts a new phase of his life,college. Along the way, we see him growing up and facing the obstacles put in his way, for instance how he deals with constant change in his life, exploring his relationship with his mother (Patricia Arquette), sister (Lorelei Linklater) and dad (Ethan Hawke) .
This movie has no second intention or any subliminar meaning behind it; its only purpose is to show this boy's growing process, and it delivers it in the best way. The directing is amazingly simple and the script is also good, although it could have developed a little more Mason's connection to the "outside world", something we only see more detailed close to the end; the performances are very natural, with special attention to Patricia Arquette, who i believe captures the true essence of the character she portraits, and the soundtrack fits the movie. The fact that it took 12 years to be made is said by some to be what is behind the film's adoration and praise; in my opinion, that just shows the commitment behind it and makes it a one of a kind.
Basically, this is a very simple movie, but its simplicity is what makes it so good and different.
