    Boyhood, believable characters, depicting how a single Mom was able to raise her kids and beat the odds
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2015*

To me, this film has a totally believable plotline with characters which seem totally real, dealing with the kinds of situations that come up in divorced single Mom scenarios in trying to raise to kids to have access to a normal life but fail repeatedly because of the poor choices they make with men. I thought the actual Father character was great in that he always tried to stay in his kids' lives, no matter what, once he came back from Alaska. He was supportive and interested and did the best he could. To me, "the Mom" basically had no life of her own. It was always about trying to obtain a better and more secure life for her kids and then having to start over again from scratch. This took about 22 years of her life (oldest daughter) and finally she was back to square one for the 4th time, living in an apartment with her Mom and in middle age, with both kids out of the nest at last. Her kids were largely "latch key" and resilient and mature. Way too many single Moms do not have kids which can basically raise themselves. Even more single Moms do not have the ability to finish college and go on to graduate school and manage to get into academia. In her case, it was likely as an adjunct in community colleges, which is lowly paid and without benefits. So the film glosses over the finer details and you have to fill in those details yourself. I still think this is a very worthwhile film to see and I also think it is great advertising for Sul Ross State University in Alpine, TX by Big Bend NP and for the NPS to increase visitors to that far away part of Texas, which so few people ever get to see.  This film really put those places in the map! So to me, that was a great ending in and of itself. I highly recommend this film to young women who should not feel selfish to want to spend their twenties doing something for themselves and delay motherhood until after they've completed their education and established their career. I do think the film should have gone more into Texas, the state which does virtually nothing to help single parents accomplish anything positive for changing their kids' lives, lifting them out of poverty, due to the lack of social programs, like childcare, head start, healthcare. The Mom character might have not been so quick to marry again, had she had other options for her children. When these kids were children, fictional characters, I know, TEXAS did not even have S-CHIP because of who was Governor of TX during the '90s for 8 years prior to 2000 so how did that Mom and her mother manage access to healthcare, trying to raise these kids in TX? So it would have been nicer to show how tough it really was for a single Mom to somehow return to college, meet healthcare expenses, and show why she might have been in such a rush to marry, the first guy-- a college professor, as a desperate economic survival need, but as a trade off, be blind to what had caused his first wife to flee her marriage, and leave her own kids to be trapped in such a hostile environment, with no way to protect them from such a man. The film moves onward, never showing what happened to the two kids this step-Mom had no legal right or way to protect or save, when she too fled this physically abusive husband #2, taking only her own two children, and later in the film, you learn even less about husband #3, whose departure was likely was left on the cutting room floor out of necessity. Any single Mom's life is going to be filled with challenges, but in Texas, even more so, and that was left out of the film.

    Epic in its ambition, yet intimate in its scope - a true masterpiece
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015*

I was went into this with a little trepidation, partly having to do with expectations and partly because, at 166 minutes long, it might be a daunting watch. Thankfully, none of that adversely affected my enjoyment of what I feel to be (in retrospect) the best film of 2014. While what Richard Linklater did might not be completely unprecedented (re: the UP documentary series, which I've only heard of but not seen), I do believe this is the first fiction film to use the same group of actors over a long period of time for the purpose of showing how they grow and change. There is almost no point in discussing a story or plot, because there isn't one in the strictest sense. What you have amounts to a series of vignettes which capture a series of moments in the life of a person, in this case Mason (Ellar Coltrane). It was fascinating to watch him grow up and experience life before my very eyes. Early on, he experiences the pain of his mother divorcing, twice, and both times to alcoholics. He's an awkward child, and gets picked on. He fights with his sister. I could go on, but I feel like I'd be robbing potential viewers of some of the spontaneity of seeing this unfold for the first time. Still, despite the improvisational nature of the film, nothing is haphazardly put together. While the first half to two-thirds of the film is more of a collage of experiences, Linklater does attempt to wrap things up by offering some philosophical insight into the life these characters have lived, and by extension, the audience. There are two scenes in particular which I believe sum up whatever message can be gleaned from this film. Both of them take place after Mason's graduation. The first is with his father as he visits a friend who now plays in a band in a bar. The second is with his mother as he is about to leave the house for college. You'll know them when you see them, and while nothing particularly profound is said it still seemed very honest and realistic. In fact, this entire film felt real in a way I haven't felt watching something in a long time, completely free of any pretension. This film runs the gamut of emotions that can be felt, and captures what it must feel like to grow up as a child of divorce. On a more technical side, most of the acting was pretty good. Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette were excellent, though, and both gave awards-worthy performances. Ellar Coltrane as Mason wasn't bad, but wasn't superb either. I guess you could say he was rather naturalistic in his approach, but he didn't really blow me away. Sadly, Lorelei Linklater (the director's daughter) was probably the biggest sore spot in the cast, but fortunately she takes more of a back seat in the later years. She wasn't cringe-worthy, but certainly not up to the standards of the rest of the cast. As far as cinematography was concerned, I thought it was very efficient and didn't call attention to itself, instead letting the performances stand out. I also liked the soundtrack, save one cut ('Crank That (Soulja Boy)'). And beyond the great performances, it was nice to take a trip down memory lane as each vignette had some small discussion or reference which placed it in time and made it that much more relatable. Overall, I can't praise this film more highly. Is it perfect? No, but what film is? What makes this one great was its devotion to character, and a raw and honest view of life that showed a lot of heart. So, even if you don't normally watch indie films I highly recommend that you give this a try. The time will fly by.
