Gosh I am at a loss for words! Kudos to director Richard Linklater for delivering a hero of all movies. After watching this film, I was instantly enamored. Such powerful story-telling and also enthralling was the fact that the movie took 12 years to make and the star, Ellar Coltrane who played Mason on whose life this whole story revolves, played his part from start to finish. Amazing! The numerous awards this movie took home is proof of its brilliance.
It was great to see Mason metamorphose from an insecure little boy to a strong and mature adult.
This film could speak to almost all of us. It's about the plight of the little people (my favorite word for children 😊) and their little/huge challenges they face in their 'oh so important' formative years, personalities waiting to shapen, about single parents and the personal struggles of trying to raise confident and strong individuals, about making the right choices ... what's not to like, Right!
I super like! 👍
Incidentally I happened on this book ↗, a story about growing up in South Africa. Different but gripping nonetheless.
This is my new favorite ... A lovely soundtrack
