Interesting concept but the overall movie was just blocks of a young boys life. Blocks of time put together with very, very little story. Sometimes hard to follow. So- different type of movie for sure. As a viewer I was not really impressed!

I really loved this film. If you are looking for a conventional Hollywood film, look elsewhere. This movie does not contain contrived storylines or a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. What it does contain is genuine, authentic moments and wonderful performances from a cast that reunited every summer for two weeks over the course of 12 years to create an absolute masterpiece. There wasn't a single defining moment in this film, but taken as a whole, watching this film was an incredible experience, and when it was over and the credits rolled, I must have cried for about 20 minutes, and I could not explain why. That's how moved I was by this film. ****

It tells about the little boy growing up and how a little boy should grow up but the ending of it should have been better, but it was good and interesting....

A story of growing up. A story of discovering one's self, family dynamic and finding your own place in this world. Amazingly told over 12 years or more, all in real time for the actors.

One of the best films of the year from a filmmaker that is both extraordinary and talented. The film follows the life of 4 characters through 12 years (in real time) and it does not stop to look at very dramatic moments, but all those little moments that, being simple and sometimes forgettable, stay with us and build our persona. It is a clever concept that once was attempted by Kubrick (but did not go to fruition). Along with the "Before" trilogy, is one of Linklater's best films and it will definitely influence new filmmakers to come.
