Boyhood - A family in real time

Mason in the Boyhood movie.
Until now, all movies I have seen use different actors to show people growing along their lives. But I recognize persons by their stare. Even though you could find a second actor nearly similar to the first one, they will never have the same stare. And this is a fabulous movie if you consider only this technique of following people “really” growing. Specially Mason, whose stare and disquiet are outstanding, while he grows in front of our eyes from his childhood to his youth.

A movie showing the beauty, the fight, the joy and the drama of a family that is recomposed in multiple facets. The director invests in the sensibility of the daily lives instead of big events. A wonderful project, it is definitively worth seeing.
