Boyhood

...är i långa passager ren poesi trots att den utspelar sig i realistiskt filmade, anspråkslösa lägre medelklassmiljöer i Texas och bara då och då, men mycket effektivt, använder sig av den mäktiga naturen runtomkring dem.

It's all a blur. The blur is indescribably moving.

There’s never been a movie quite like Boyhood, and it may be years before anyone works up the gumption to match its achievement.

...so ambitous and passionate that I can't imagine anyone cranking out another conventional coming-of-age picture. That genre now looks to be obsolete.

A great big hug of a film, you don’t have to have been a boy to relate, just a child; nor do you have to have been a parent — just a person trying to figure it out.
