Movie Time #65: Boyhood (2014)

▶️ Today’s film is a drama and it’s a little bit special. It took 11 years to make because the director wanted to show the main character growing up without choosing different actors. The plot is decidedly random as the film provides a deeper glimpse (=quick look) into American society.
