Somewhere Like Real Life: On Richard Linklater's Boyhood
Review
I recently went to an opening-night screening in West Los Angeles of Richard Linklater's latest film, Boyhood. This was no red-carpet affair. There were no designer gowns, photographers, or gawking tourists, all staples of premiers up at Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. From what I could see, there was only one star present. Patricia Arquette, who plays Olivia, the mother of the titular boy, was on hand and answered audience questions with charm and generosity, something TMZ and the other toxic Hollywood gossip rags rarely highlight. For a movie that seems to have "the business" buzzing, this was a decidedly understated debut, which makes sense given the subtlety with which Linklater has emerged as one of America's most experimental filmmakers.
Most people who've heard of Boyhood know that it's doing something unique, though not entirely unprecedented in the history of cinema. Shot for a few days at a time over the course of twelve summers and using the same actors throughout, we watch the maturation of not just a young man, but also his family as its various members move around the state of Texas while always staying within each other's orbits.

Ten years on, Richard Linklater reflects on his revolutionary masterpiece Boyhood: 'I thought: Am I making a mistake?'
In , no one had seen anything like this film following a family in real time over 12 years. The director ponders pulling off a unique feat – and the toll it took on some cast members.
Richard Linklater's new comedy, Hit Man, isn't actually about a hitman. It's about someone who pretends to be a hitman in undercover police operations, and who becomes a happier, more rounded person in the process. This kind of thing happens a lot in Linklater’s films. From Dazed and Confused to School of Rock to Everybody Wants Some!!, he can't resist stories about people learning and evolving, especially during the formative years they spend at school and college.
"I don't know how conscious it is," Linklater tells the BBC, "but certainly I must be interested in people becoming who they're meant to be, or questioning who they're meant to be in the world. I always had a soft spot for young people figuring it out, and now I've got a soft spot for older people figuring it out. I got lucky, because I knew that I wanted to be in cinema from the age of But I meet a lot of people who are s
