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.

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.

3.0 out of 5 starsDon't believe the hype
By Fraz on 5 July 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Filmed over 12 years this tells the story of a boy growing up from age 6 to age 18 using the same actor to play the main character. For some reason this seems to have made reviewers wet their pants with excitement but in reality, although this has not been done before, it doesn't add anything to the film or make it any better than it otherwise would have been had the film maker used different actors for each phase of the main characters life. The film itself is just about watchable although it is ponderous at times and little of consequence seems to happen. The acting is good and Patricia Arquette rightly won an oscar but that doesn't alter the fact that the film itself is very average and is likely to send some people to sleep as so little actually happens and it takes so long for so little to happen. There are also an idealistic everyone lives happily ever after feel about the film, clearly for American audiences which desire this sort of thing, which spoils it to an extent and ruins any attempt at a serious film. The scene where a young man who went to college to improve his life because Patricia Arquettes character has told him some years back that he is bright, comes up to her to tell her how she changed his life is so self satisfied and unlikely its bordering on ludicrous. 5 stars for the acting and one or 2 for the story. 3 overall feels generous but 2 would be a little harsh.

5.0 out of 5 starsLife Is What Happens To You While You're Busy Making Other Plans
By Moira TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 9 Feb. 2015
Format: DVD
Weighing in at nearly 3 hours and covering 12 years of one boy's life, this film takes Richard Linklater's interest in effectively showing the passage of real time, developed in the Before Sunrise trilogy, to another level. It could have been a massive vanity project that over reached itself but I'm pleased to say it's actually something special.
The story flows through the years from grade school to freshman college, showing the real growth of the main character, Mason. We see him moving house, changing schools, making friends and coping with other changes brought about by his parents' relationships as they separate, move on and remarry.
Relationships are at the heart of the story. The supporting cast are excellent adding the right amount of depth to each scene. His sister Samantha is particularly good going from childhood torment to caring big sister. All the characters grow in a way that is plausible, well paced, and not without making some very human mistakes. It is sad at times and sweet but genuinely moving rather than sentimental. I surprised by how funny it was too - not gags but the natural humour that comes out of the moment.
Mason speculates whether you seize the moment or it seizes you. Watch this film and it will stay with you for longer than that.
