There’s no one else in the world who works like Richard Linklater. His most famous movies are probably theBeforetrilogy, these Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy romcoms are a generational work in themselves, with the first released in 1995 and the third in 2013. That’s an eighteen-year span that takes our leads from young adults to bordering middle age. For most directors that would be a life’s work but Linklater isn’t most directors.
Anyone who has been a child (hint: all of us) can relate to the early years of the movie but it is as Mason approaches his teenage years that things become tricky both at school and at home.
Aside from a few basic plot points and the ending, Linklater didn’t really have much of a script for this project and instead regularly consulted with the cast on their own life experiences and incorporated them. Nothing about the filmmaking process for this movie was ordinary, so of course the result is an extraordinarily detailed and moving movie.
Critics loveBoyhoodtoo. Not only does it have a staggering 97% onRotten Tomatoesbut it is also the highest-reviewed film onMetacriticof all time.
Prime Video may have just added ads to the service but if it keeps getting quality titles like this, it will still have to be considered one of thebest streaming services.
