Boyhood Blu-Ray

Boyhood, from Richard Linklater, the director behind Slacker, Dazed & Confused, and Before Sunrise, is a groundbreaking cinematic achievement; a fictional drama filmed with the same group of actors over a 12-year period. The film is both epic and intimate, and is a unique journey through the excitement of childhood, the turbulent changes of modern family life, and the passage of time itself.

Dreamy elementary school student Mason (Ellar Coltrane) is facing a time of change: his struggling single mother Olivia (Patricia Arquette) has decided to move him and his older sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) to Houston—just as their long-absent father Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke) returns to their world. Thus begins a decade of constant heartbreak and wonder. Against the backdrop of family moves and controversies, faltering marriages and remarriages, new schools, first loves, lost loves, good times and frightening times that will shape him, Mason grows up to find his own way in life.

Boyhood is a remarkable achievement based on Linklater's fascination with time, relationships, and the ever-changing nature of our lives. and is a deeply moving experience that was praised by critics around the world and won the award for Best Picture at both the Golden Globes and the British Academy Film Awards in 2015.
