Product Description

Product Description

Groundbreaking, award-winning drama directed by Richard Linklater and starring Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke. Filmed over a period of 12 years with the same cast members, the film begins as Olivia (Arquette) moves to Houston, Texas, with her son Mason (Ellar Coltrane) and daughter Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) after the disintegration of her marriage to the children's father (Hawke). From then on we follow Mason as he progresses from a child to a young man while dealing with his parents' divorce and the numerous other difficulties of growing up. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, with Arquette taking home the trophy for Best Supporting Actress, and also won three Golden Globes and three BAFTAs.

4.0 out of 5 starsGroundbreaking study of growing up
By Tommy Dooley TOP 100 REVIEWER on 30 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD
Filmed over twelve years - film maker Richard Linklater tells the story of growing up from the perspective of Mason (Ellar Coltrane). His sister is played by Lorelei Linklater - Richard's daughter. The parents are played by Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette. Billed as a unique film and I think it is, we get to see some of the pivotal moments in the life of the family.

This includes bad choices, mistakes, love and mostly growing up, not just for the children but also the adults. In some respects the children show more maturity than the grown ups in many of the circumstances.

Whilst the acting here is all well above average - Ethan Hawke does the best job of padding out his character to give him real depth and hence attract the most warmth from the viewer. The story can be seen to be mundane in places and there is a lot of existential theorising, but I actually quite like that. If you are making a film about growing up and growing old then it is inevitable to ask a few fundamental questions.

A film for those who take their time getting to the point - where the journey is always miles better than the destination and I feel are better off for so thinking.

2.0 out of 5 starsA Nostalgic and Sentimental, VERY Slow-Paced, 'Family' Drama - HD Good for Soundtrack Music
By Mr. Laurence Williams TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 1 Nov. 2015
Format: Blu-ray
I bought this fairly new release on Blu-ray based on the strength of Oscar/BAFTA-coverage and associated reviews (it did better at the BAFTAs than the Oscars), as it suggested a novel film-making process used to support a strong dramatic storyline and notable acting performances.

Ultimately, after viewing (and whilst viewing actually !) the film on disc I was left a little underwhelmed and somewhat confused about all the acclaim given to it.

On Blu-ray everything looks and, especially, sounds as good as you would expect of a modern release, but since it does not rely on special-effects etc I don't necessarily think that it is essential to watch it in HD, although the dominant musical soundtrack does sound good courtesy of DTS Master Audio (apparently a large proportion of the small budget for the production of the film was spent on gaining music broadcast rights !).

I can see why a lot of people would like this film and, especially, more than I did. Since programmes which cover personal issues in a multitude of guises, often with the tag 'reality', have huge viewing ratings it is clear that a film which goes into the details of family life over a lengthy period would also be popular.

Yes, this film is played-out with actors instead of 'real people', but since I think 'reality' programmes are nothing of the sort anyway and those involved often 'act' (due to them knowing they are being filmed/watched and that their 'performances' are crucial to the success of them being seen/the success of the programme) the difference is minimal. So, a lengthy 'study' of family members interacting and, most importantly, evolve as they grow older over the 12 years of the 'story' is bound to entice some - just not me !Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsengrossing and very well acted
By schumann_bg TOP 50 REVIEWER on 29 Nov. 2015
Format: DVD
Boyhood is the first film to be shot with the same key actors over a 12-year period as far as I know, and the gambit works very well. Part of the interest lies in seeing them change from one sequence to the next, the two children changing more than the adults, of course. At the beginning they are about six and eight, and their parents, Mason and Olivia, are already separated. Ethan Hawke brings a lot of warmth to freewheeling Mason; we never quite feel why the marriage went wrong, but she seems destined for greater worldly success and perhaps found him too lackadaisical. One thing that becomes clear as the film progresses is how much better he is than the other men she gets caught up with. The children live with the mother, and you do feel quite sorry for them, leading such unstable lives. Mason Jr. becomes slightly negative as a teenager, perhaps affected by the lives of his parents more than Samantha; it's hard to tell. Not too much is made clear, which is good, the script going forward from one vignette to another, coming to focus more on Mason than Samantha, hence the title. It is probably one of the best films on being the child of divorced parents, and manages to feel quite real, unlike a film like Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. For me, this one is much better, coming across more like the tone Robert Altman gets in Short Cuts. It is a leisurely yet well focused film in terms of the dialogues and insights. Nothing feels unconvincing or banal, which is quite an achievement in itself. My only reservation is that the basic structure makes it somewhat episodic, not really having any plot. You could almost see it as a soap opera in 10-minute slots, although it is much better than this. However its relative lack of shape robs it of a bigger dimension - it is almost like all those short episodes stitched together, always holding the interest, but never coming together in a way that gives particular intensity.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn astounding film.
By R. J. Farrer on 15 Oct. 2014
Format: DVD
This wonderful film is a must-see. At nearly three hours it is long but the time whizzes by.
It took Richard Linklater 12 years to make and completion depended on the cast members staying with the project. There were times when some wished to leave.

We follow a typical American family navigate through the routine traumas and joys of life. The primary focus is on the children, Samantha (Lorelei Linklater, the director’s own daughter) and Mason (Ellar Coltrane). We see the children develop like the kids in a sort of accelerated “7-Up”. The performances are so natural that we imagine that the dialogue is improvised but Linklater does not work like that. The script is carefully crafted, modified through discussion with the actors, and endlessly rehearsed until it “sounds natural”.
The parents divorce and we see them negotiate new lives with new partners and the predictable tensions of ‘re-constituted’ families. Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke are superb in these roles. Mason soon matures faster than his now part-time father who remains most strongly bonded to his black Pontiac GTO, the same car that appears in several of Linklater’s films. The car is a sort of ‘trans-positional security blanket’ for the displaced dad, as he is cast adrift by divorce.

The film has some sad and profound moments but there is wonderful humour too, most notably when Dad (whose own life is by now mildly chaotic) offers his adolescent daughter toe-curlingly inappropriate advice on contraception.

The shy and awkward kids grow into grounded and independent adults and we get a feel-good ending. A sixth of the budget went on the rights to the soundtrack. A big investment but worth every penny. The film stock used was old 35mm throughout, which gives a unified and timeless air.

A joy to watch, my favourite film of the last year.
