    Very unique and interesting concept following a fictional family over a period of approximately 10 years. It is slow moving, however, it is very interesting observing growth and transition. If you like action, this is not your flic, but if you like to think, it might be in your wheel house.

    Original and creative depiction of real life. So real that at times it seems slow but we observed twelve years of this family's life, especially the boy, so it is amazing the movie was only three hours long. I was so drawn in that, unless Arquette or Hawke were on screen (familiar faces) I often forgot it was a movie. Poinant, accurate and true to life, it leaves us wondering "what is the point"? Loved it.

    First off way to long. Hard for me to believe the mom was capable of getting a masters degree. What a loser. The"boy" was fairly good. Basically it was a boring film.

    Just a real life story of youth.!!! It felt soo real that it had me wondering if it really is the kid's real story. I loved him right from the start. Very different from the common movies of today.

    Biggest piece of crap I've ever seen. A shallow bunch of inaccurate stereotype snippets of American boyhood experiences being raised in an American single family home. Compete with the 2nd and third alcoholic husband,

    I think this movie is too long & there were scenes in it that were not necessary. I almost got up to walk out a few times, but kept hoping it would get better, so stayed until the end. His mother's story was far better than the boy's.

    Awesome Movie! This movie was so well made. it shows you what families go through during relationships, divorces and being a single parent. In all of this it's what kids have to go through and how they feel about the parents that shape there whole life.

    Fantastic movie that is the most accurate in showing what life is really like. The movie was filmed over a 12 year period and shows the most believable evolution of a boy and his somewhat fractured family. The movie's running time is 2hr 45min, but it moves faster and flows greater than most movies like the Lord of the Rings films. Richard Linklater has created a masterpiece. GO SEE THIS ONE OF A KIND MOVIE!!!
