Linklater’s ambitious project was filmed over a 12-year period and is a remarkable achievement, amounting to something more than the story of one boy’s life.
As it traces the story of pop culture, and portrays the political transition of a country from the divisive Bush Jnr. years beyond the “Yes We Can!” promise of Obama’s election victory, Boyhood presents itself as a film of genuine substance and significance, an immediate American classic.
Told in expansive and unhurried narrative strokes, the film describes life’s desires and anxieties, as well as the needs and fears of an adolescent – all of which provides a panoramic and diverting picture of American youth today.
