Richard Linklater writes and directs this profoundly moving film about a young boy’s experiences as he grows up. The screenplay is fantastically written and really gives this film its beating heart and intelligent brain, along with a wonderful performance by Patricia Arquette. The pacing is a little slow so many will lose patience with it but it is definitely worth watching in its entirety. It stands as an impressive piece of filmmaking, having been filmed across a number of years and then pieced together, it is not only a film to be watched, it is one to be appreciated.
