I thought I would love this movie when I went into it. Absolutely fell flat for me

    IMO It's an absolutely brilliant concept and amazing achievement, but on the whole, the parts didn't sum up to something all that interesting for me. Maybe it's because we already have years of personal experiences in terms of growing up and seeing people, things and situations change all around us, I don't know. And we already have documentaries tracking peoples lives & careers, making "Boyhood" oddly gimmicky for me. *shrug*

    Meanwhile, his earlier films Slacker & Dazed and Confused are some classics, and I happened to love his rotoscoped film experiments Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.

    Here's my favorite (Lebowski-esque) scene from the latter:
