Richard Linklater's 12 year project is finally released. A fascinating experiment and a touching film filled with his usual smart observations on everyday life. It takes its time, going through the various ups and downs of growing up. They don't put up title card or stop the flow of scenes to separate each year, they just flow through and you just pick it up by the fashion, the music, the haircuts. It helps make it feel a little less episodic. And although the meandering nature of the story is not so structured, like real life, watching the characters develop is the interesting part. It's a sweet film and one worth checking out if you can afford the time.
