We did just that yesterday. We saw Richard Linklater's latest movie "Boyhood." It's safe to say Linklater is one of our finest movie-makers working today, and at any time. And "Boyhood," is just a beautifully sublime example of a perfectly realized film. Made over a 12 year period, it follows a boy and his family thru the 2000's.
Yes, it is some kind of masterpiece. A movie of our lives, our times. It will hit you on all levels. It asks all the big questions, but it does it in a subtle, almost invisible way. One of the finest movies I've ever witnessed. Reviews or descriptions don't do it justice, it must be experienced. Loved it. Love it. It's sort of sublimely devastating, and renewing, at the same time. Linklater brings it. What a great, great film. A must-see. Transcendent. Inspiring.
