Boyhood's a very interesting film and, despite not really having any central driving plotline, it flows so organically and realistically. You only get a glimpse of their lives every year but it manages to capture what's happening in a very understated manner and the acting, especially the children's, is so natural and authentic. It allows you to relive your childhood, with all its ups and downs, subtly transitioning from one moment to the next, one year to another, with only the actors' aging and the occasional temporal signposts to mark a particular time. Everybody should definitely check this out.

You know that feeling you get when you pick up a family photo album and start reminiscing about the past. This movie is that feeling.

One of the greatest well-made pictures of the 21th century no doubt. I sincerely haven't felt this connected to a film since pffft i don't know !! it was genuine, funny and profoundly heartfelt. what an experience . 10/10

Obviously seeing the kids grow up in the movie was so unique and amazing. I understand why it got so many awards. However, it was slow and the plot was never very exciting.

Just a really well-made movie. I liked how they didn't add anything very dramatic or out of the ordinary. Many movies do that and it makes it look artificial. This one did a very good job with that so you feel like you're just witnessing reality. Intense emotions and familiar situations are pictured beautifully. I especially liked the scene where [spoiler]Mason Sr. had "the talk" with Samantha[/spoiler]. It was so well-executed. Soundtracks are pretty good, too.
