Boyhood (2014): A Three-Part Response

Here’s a four-part post on Richard Linklater’s movie Boyhood:

  • In which I interview my 7-year-old self, my 14-year-old self, and my 20-year-old self... and it turns into a tense and uncomfortable conversation about our differing perspectives.
  • Some reflections on just how meaningful this movie can be for us right now.
  • What some of my favorite film reviewers are saying about Boyhood
  • Deleted Scene: A letter to that 7-year-old version of me

Jeffrey Today: So, guys... you’ve just seen Boyhood. Before we get started, do you have any questions?

Little Jeff (7 years old): How did that kid get older while we were watching the movie?
