The Timeless Experiment of Boyhood: A Reflection on Art and Age The release of Richard Linklater's Boyhood 12 years ago was a landmark event in cinema, defying convention by following its protagonist from first grade to his first day of college.

Linklater and his cast recently rewatched Boyhood for the first time since 2014, an experience that shed new light on their creation.
