Boyhood

2014, Richard Linklater

3.8/5

Boyhood is a 2014 American epic coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Richard Linklater, and starring Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane, Lorelei Linklater, and Ethan Hawke. Filmed from 2001 to 2013, Boyhood depicts the childhood and adolescence of Mason Evans Jr. (Coltrane) from ages six to eighteen as he grows up in Texas with divorced parents (Arquette and Hawke). Richard Linklater's daughter Lorelei plays Mason's sister, Samantha.

Production began in 2001 and finished in 2013, with Linklater's goal to make a film about growing up. The project began without a completed script, with only basic plot points and the ending written initially. Linklater developed the script throughout production, writing the next year's portion of the film after rewatching the previous year's footage. He incorporated changes he saw in each actor into the script, while also allowing all major actors to participate in the writing process by incorporating their life experiences into their characters' stories.

If you like Boyhood, you might also like 2014 Films, Films Set In 2003, Universal Pictures Films, and Films About Father–son Relationships.

This Kind Of Vibes

Dark Academy. Brown leafs on the sidewalk. Salty tears. Sweet Smile. Aching heart. Black sheeps. Being Comfortably numb. Teenage days confusion. Escapism, in a good way.
