Boyhood

I watched this film on an Emirates flight between Venice and Dubai.  It tells the story of the joys and pitfalls of growing up over a 12 year period - the film was shot between 2002 and 2013.  It is shot through the eyes of a boy called Mason (Ellar Coltrane), his divorced parents (Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke) and his sister (Lorelei Linklater).  As each year passes, you get to share different experiences with the family:  family meals, road trips, birthday parties.

I found it an endearing and thought provoking film - all the actors' performances are good.
