  This movie overall was quite interesting. I think that the life events that Mason goes through as he is growing up such as parental divorce and moving several times is relatable to a lot of the audience. I feel like the acting could have been better, especially by Mason and his sister, Samantha. The movie would have been more interesting if it showed Olivia's first husband's children after they have grown up. I would recommend this movie to both teens and adults.

  This 12 year production takes us through through Mason's life from the time he is 6 up until he is 18 years old. Mason goes through all the typical struggles a boy goes through while growing up. From the time he learns to ride a bike to the time he leaves for college, all the key points in his life are caught on film. Mason's mom, Olivia, went through several divorces in her life which Mason and his sister, Samantha, had to adapt to and overcome. Although the film gives a pessimistic view on men, making them all the men in the movie alcoholics, it shows the true struggles of divorce. Overall, the film was very well done and it is highly recommended to people wishing to reminisce their boyhoo

  The movie, Boyhood, was movie that was filmed about the growing up and the developments of 6 years boy during the course of 12 years. This project that the amazing director, Richard Linklater had was a very risky one. There the matters of what if things don’t go according to plan that he and his cast to worry about. If something hadn’t gone according to plan then that would mean 12 years down the hatch, but as always he came through to surprise everyone. Interesting to know that although the movie was filmed in 12 years, it was filmed in 39 days and by the time it was done the original named was “12 years” but due to Steve McQueen’s “12 years a slave” he was then forced to change the name to

  I liked this movie, well i liked the hour and a half that i got to see, i missed a huge chunk of the film because i was at a basketball game so i cannot fully review this movie with accuracy. I liked how they chose to stick with the same cast over a ten year period i really thought that was innovative. As far as the story line goes, its very relatable. I come from a one parent home where my mom is raising 3 boys on her own (including me) So seeing masons mother get stressed out every now and then is like seeing my own mother stress. As far as masons mom bringing men in and out of the home my mom never did such a thing. There are many instances where i could fully relate to mason, being conf

  In my opinion the movie boyhood was a good representation on what is can be like growing up as a child and throughout your teens as I am currently in highschool. I believe that the role the mother played was not as realistic as it should have been. overall this movie is a good experience and I would reccommend watching it for both a children and adults.

  After watching the full move, I enjoyed it from start to finish. I really like the idea of using the same boy and filming his real life throughout 12 years. This made the movie much more effective and enjoyable. The only thing I found that would have improved my overall rating for this movie is if there was a slight bit of humour added. I felt it was the same tone throughout the movie and having a variety of tones to switch from depending on the scene, would have improved my overall rating for Boyhood. In conclusion, this was a very interesting movie that kept my attention and I enjoyed to watch.

  I thought this movie was very true about life. Watching Mason grow up from when he was just around 6 to where he leaves off to college, makes you feel like you were apart of this family. I found it could be slow at some points but then soon it would pick right back up again. What Mason goes through in highschool not really understanding what lifes about, I think every person can relate to because nobody really knows then what's the point in your life. Like trying to figure out and understand what you should do with your life and how to make best of it. Overall i think that it was a great film and inspiring to see how people can change and grow up for the better.

  Overall I enjoyed watching this movie. I think that it was an accurate portrayal of what a boy goes through before he reaches adulthood. I can relate to this movie on a personal level because I went through something similar to what Mason went through. I had an alcoholic father for the first few years of my life then he walked out. This movie really touched me on a personal level.
