: The film was made over 12 years and chronicles the childhood of a boy who is
: six when the movie starts in 2002. What makes it noteworthy is that it was
: filmed with the same actors over that period of time. it's like a time
: capsule for memories, and especially if you came of age this century,
: you'll probably enjoy it.

Even if you didn't, a lot of folks older than me loved it too, since it felt very authentic not only from their perspective of when they were kids, but when they were parents too.

It's the best film I've seen in a while. It's 164 minutes, but you are never ever bored.
