Boyhood Ratings & Reviews

  • Nicholas FlorioAugust 16, 2025
    Freaking great movie.
  • 5g44q2July 30, 2025
    I feel like you gotta watch it but your not watching for the story or the plot its just cool to see a full life right before your eyes, thats not changed for a movie, just a normal life.
  • MarthaJuly 6, 2025
    Cool experiment. A very underwhelming ending.
  • lukehedgMay 21, 2025
    Decent, but extremely overrated. Way too simplistic and artificial, despite the great gimmick and fantastic performances.
  • Mister ArnMay 13, 2025
    There is more to this film than the gimmick of filming it over 12 years. The scenes play out just like someone reviewing their most memorable moments, the ones that would stick with you. This was a long movie and when it ended, I wanted more.
