does the film start when he's born and end at 12? i bet the film ends when he finally becomes semen capable and then spunks all over the camera and screams "finally after 12 years i loving did it!!"

I watched it, or walked out after 2/3 I forget, then WATCHED IT AGAIN having forgotten that I'd seen it. After 40 minutes I realized what I'd done. Didn't make it all the way through the second time, either. What a snorefest.

This gimmick's expiration date was Before Sunset, now he's just churning them out like sausages. Talk about flogging a dead horse.

e: I suppose his next movies will be "Before Pre-Dawn" and "Young Adulthood".

I want to see this just because it's a grand experiment. Like how Russian Ark was shot in one 90 minute take or The Fall was made in a dozen countries over four years out of the director's pocket. Even if the film isn't great, it's refreshing compared to $200 million pissed away on tepid melodrama.

there's also Timecode which is multiple cameras one take, and also gives a bunch of the actors nothing to do for minutes at a time

Jupiter Ascending was a better movie on every level, even when it comes to time investment gimmicks because an action scene that Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis spent every day for six months shooting represents a bigger and more complicated investment of time than calling up that bored teenager and C-list actor you shot half a movie with ten years ago and asking them to hang out for a week

It looks ok and knowing the Wachowskis, it is at least something they believe in. I'm referring more to films that are nothing more than a product, rather than a work of art. Even Ed Wood made movies with a heartfelt message, regardless of quality. Billions of dollars are spent on movies that serve no purpose other than a revenue stream. Not that it's bad to make money, but there is nothing wrong with making good films.

The Boyhood is kinda like The Machinist. The Machinist is an OK movie that nobody would care about if Christian Bale didn't look like a skeleton in it.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

beautifully shot but a pretty weird movie with an anticlimatic ending. the girl is adorable though
