Linklater is an interesting dude. I forget how many movies he has made and how interesting his projects are. Waking Life, the Midnight trilogy, and now this. The ambition and trust he had to have in the actors to pull this off is mesmerizing. That said, haven't seen the movie. I really want to though. I will, I think.

I mean yes I get the long time he he took to have all these actors play their parts. he had to work around the main actor's schedules. I get the idea of the single mom with 2 kids and the issues that arise between all of them but i don't see all the hoopla surrounding this film. I found it plodding and quite anti climatic. Arquette is good but not stellar and the lead boy got so much on my nerves I had no feeling towards that kid at all. I think the best actor was the sister played by Linklater's daughter. For me , I have seen better made for TV films about marital discord, alcohol abuse and coming of age than this but I am certain it will win many awards much to my chagrin:)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-57838693546105831342015-01-14T16:27:19.553-05:002015-01-14T16:27:19.553-05:00I don't remember if I left an earlier comment....I don't remember if I left an earlier comment.

As a movie director wannabe, I have often thought about making a film that spans decades and uses natural aging of the actors instead of makeup F-X. Richard Linklater faced many challenges keeping a group of actors committed to the same project over a 12 year period. Mrs. Shady and I both enjoy Patricia Arquette's acting and we will definitely want to see Boyhood.<br /><br />You wrote:<br /><br /><< Don't worry about my lizard stomping and the spillage of guts.

I confess- I once squished my cousin's hamster- it was running loose and I didn't know and it ran around my feet and without a single thought, I stomped. I still feel bad about it- but who lets their hamster run wild without warning people you don't have a rodent infestation?
