Boyhood

To date, this is the most authentic coming-of-age drama to see the daylight.

A male's boyhood lasts about 12 years. That's science of nature or simply call it, normality. But, to actually capture these moments along the same period of time in a boy's pre-departure journey towards manhood, that's rare!

Linklater's efforts and passion truly honoured the art of independent filmmaking! The matured writer-director introduces the most literal expression for inner growth, by showing physical age transitions of the protagonist at occasions where the character learns or experiences a new beginning, turnover or lesson.
