Filming from 2002 to 2013, "Boyhood" is a narrative feature that covers twelve years in the life of a family. We follow a young boy, Mason (Ellar Coltrane), as he matures from first through twelfth grade, along with his older sister, Samantha (Lorelei Linklater), and his divorced parents, Olivia (Patricia Arquette) and Mason, Sr. (Ethan Hawke). As the years go by we find them facing the realities of not only growing up but also the ongoing challenges of parenting in an ever-evolving landscape.
