BOYHOOD ENGLISH MOVIE REVIEW
Ratings:4/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN
Linklaters writing is warm and insightful and the cast uniformly excellent, led by Coltrane who grows in confidence as an actor without ever compromising the films naturalism. Boyhood then is a true gem, and a bold, brave experiment thats as intimate as it is expansive. Its an emotionally affecting film with a big beating heart, and Linklater shows us that indeed life is in the little details. Im going with four out of five. Dont miss it.

Ratings:4.5/5 Review By: Renuka Vyvahare Site:Times Of India (TOI)
This ambitious effort lends supreme authenticity to the film, thus differentiating it from the standard coming-of-age dramas.In spite of being presented in an unhurried, episodic manner, you will not find this over two-hour long docu-style indie film sluggish, for it showcases the minutiae of everyday life beautifully. No wonder Linklater said, “You’ve never seen a movie exactly like this, and you may not again. It is a life project.”

Go, get to know Boyhood. Soak it in and let it enrich you, amuse you, hold you close. Let it open your mind a little bit more toward the possibilities great cinema holds. Live it. Let this film be your jam. To paraphrase John Lennon, life is what happens when youre busy watching other films.

Ratings:2/5 Review By: Paloma Sharma Site:Rediff
Boyhood serves more as a checklist of experiences that a young person goes through, instead of an instrument of introspection into the pivotal moments of human life. Boyhood either lacks drama or slips into melodrama as soon as something remotely exciting begins to happen.While Boyhood is a novel concept that, when put into action, marks an important event in filmmaking, the film itself is only just bearable.Once the initial wide-eyed worship of the filming process fades away, all that Boyhood leaves you with is a faint sense of nostalgia and not much else.
