At the core of this tender-hearted and moving British indie film is a fascinating relationship between a single mum and her autistic teenage son..

Boyhood (2014) Wiedergabe Von Streaming-

We can quibble with small stuff in Boyhood. Supporting performances are variable, the sister drops out as a dramatic character ... I could go on. But the cumulative power is tremendous.. As a film that dares to honor small moments and the life they add up to, "Boyhood" isn't just a masterpiece. It's a miracle.. "Boyhood" is a stunt, an epic, a home video, and a benediction.

The triumph of Still Alice is that it's not about an illness; it's about a person.. Serkis' contribution truly is something we've never seen, an entirely new category of computer-enhanced acting. With not a word...
