I read this comment about the movie which said "It felt like reading a good book, which is the highest compliment I can give to a film." and I couldn't be more precise .
This movie is an experience that every person should have. This is a fucking masterpiece. It's amazing how the simplicity of this film becomes one of it's best characteristics. This movie is quite exactly what I would like to do if I decided to make a movie someday. Kinda bad someone got there first, but it's ok because I probably wouldn't do better than this. God, those little moments with the family, the thoughts of what's the point of life... This movie is so nostalgic and I'm still in the high-school-to-college phase, but still I can relate so much with this movie. I love when we can relate with the story and the things the principal character is going through. And the soundtrack... Coldplay, Arcade Fire, Foster the People... just hands down. I probably won't see a movie that will affect me so much as this one did.
Fantastic movie. Best of the year so far. If you were born in the 90's it will feel nostalgic as hell. There are memories in the movie that are mine too. The songs, the video games, the cartoons, more so because I come from a broken home too. It may speak a lot more to some people than others. For me it speaks to the heart, and that I cherish in this movie. Yes it's almost 3 hours long but it doesn't feel that long at all, it goes pretty fast actually.
It is a fantastic work and I hope that will be considered by the Academy. I confess I've never seen the Before trilogy, but Richard Linklater deserves a nomination for best direction for this film.
It doesn't reach the perfect score (only Godfather and Shawshank did it) for me but it is very close to it. 9/10. GREAT MOVIE, GO SEE IT!
man i totally loved this movie. I'm now kinda feeling good about my life. definitely worth a watch. really thought provoking movie.
No notes. As late as I tend to get around to watching his stuff, it confirmed my opinion that Richard Linklater is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. And one of the very few who can get me to watch an almost three-hour film these days, not letting me take my eyes off for even one second, and still being bummed when they're over. If you prefer "real" stories to fantasy, things that relate to the world you live in and have the potential to change your perspective on life, they don't come better than this.
I really really love it
In my opinion this film is a Masterpiece!
I think that this film could be better done but at the same time I understand the problems that could happen in the making. But in this movie you can see the same actors advancing in time, and how Mason and the kids grow up, and that it's so so beatiful in a movie.
I love that I can watch ten years of life in like two hours in a fluid way very well done. And I know it's not a critical comment but if you're born in the 90's you'll find it so magic and special because it brings lots of memories of my childhood to my mind.
So it's a great movie and at least for me it's so so special and really risky commercially. So I must say it's one of my favourites and a really remarkable movie in the history.
Best movie of 2014...
