If you like Harvey Keitel, and I mean, if you really, really like him, you may appreciate this movie. Nevertheless, prepare yourself to see him mostly either high or getting high, over and over, during the whole film. Remember the "never go full ****" from Tropic Thunder? Well, here RDJ would say "never go full druggy".

Boyhood is the anti-movie by excellence. Nothing ever happens on its almost 3 hours of runtime. Nothing. Believe me, I stayed for the whole movie at the cinema waiting for something, anything, to ever happen, as my watch kept running while I was in disbelief; "where is this perfect movie every critic is praising to the highest highs!?". I have never left my seat during a movie at the cinema, not even for a quick visit to the snack bar o toilet. With Boyhood I should have started. That's my only regret, and that's how I will remember this movie. The one I should have quit long before its final credits started rolling on the big screen. Because there is nothing, nothing, on Boyhood besides it's 12 years of shootings, a remarkable experiment of course, that in no way can save this failed attempt of a movie, much less give it a place next to the absolute masterpieces of cinema history.
