Elevator Pitch |
A film literally spanning 12 years in the life of a boy from the age of six to eighteen while his mother goes through an number of relationships and his father remarries, and he himself develops new relationships. |
Content |
Mostly just domestic stuff, the appeal of the film being that it is filmed in real time over the twelve years. |
A View |
Feted because of the commitment of the director and the players, it is not actually an exciting view, and in my opinion it is held together by Ethan Hawke – even though Patricia Arquette’s career seems to have benefited from it. |
