Yes please – I want more films like this.
I want to make films like this!!
To be taken on a journey through someone’s life from the age of 5 until 17 in one film was the most inspiring thing I have seen in AGES or even EVER!
I hadn’t realised how shallow and one dimensional so many films are as they don’t or can’t (boring budget restrictions) take the time and space for an idea to become profound.
Richard Linklater has achieved this profundity and i love it – thank you!
I was really pleased to see the Mum (Patricia Arquette) character studying and then teaching Attachment Theory and Bowlby – great touch Richard!!

Good review. This movie’s a very long one, but it doesn’t feel like so. And for that, it’s always entertaining and interesting, even when it seems like nothing at all is happening.
