Am I the only one that thought Boyhood was overrated? Like the meta of the movie is unique and impressive, for sure. It's an incredible idea to film a movie following the development of a kid into adulthood in real time, and the perseverance to make it is laudable. But... I found the movie that resulted felt like... well like someone who had an idea for a movie 11 years ago and kept changing the plan along the way without being able to change what's already filmed. It felt messy and disjointed. Not like it is terrible, but I have no interest in watching it ever again. Certainly not in my to 30 movies of all time.

    Overrated in the sense that it's not a top 30 movie? Yeah, I can definitely pick at least 50 films that I think are better. It was definitely a good film, tho. Been a long time so I don't remember specifics, but I don't remember it feeling like multiple films stitched together or anything. And even if it did, it could be argued that it's an artistic decision? Since it shows different times in their lives. Hell, for most people Sunday 29th vs Monday 30th can make two vastly different movies.

    Then again, I'm not that picky about movies nor am I much of a critic so I don't really know what I'm talking about xD
