It was pretty good. Really compelling and exciting to watch, but it's very much a Linklater movie so it wanders and meanders.
Getting a shotgun and a bible for your birthday is pretty 180.

No. I'd think it was a pretty good, pretty Linklater film, but not mind-blowing.
First of all, Mason is kind of a boring dickbag. When he was driving off to college, I asked myself why I even cared about this kid so much, and I realized it was because I really felt like I had seen him grow up as an actual person and not a trick of makeup or clever casting.
Second, I don't think it would be possible to recreate the film over the period of one year. It's fucking pitch perfect on the small details that would inevitably feel just a little bit off or too called out if it were made like a traditional film- things like cars, clothes, and technology would be the result of choices made by the art director or set dresser to recreate a time, rather than contemporaneous choices or happenstance. The cell phones, for example, or the Mama for Obama lady, or watching the drunk baby landlord vid feel natural- curated, maybe, but not constructed.
That relates to a criticism I've heard form people that didn't like the film that bothers me- they hate Mason's facebook moralizing and somehow think that it's a key to the film. It isn't- it's just a reflection of how people were thinking about facebook a year or two ago; it's not the key to the film or even all that important, it's the equivalent of Mason Sr.'s dumb anybody-but-Bush speech early in the film.
So yeah, the passage of time is the thing that makes Boyhood great, and maybe any director could have stumbled into that idea, but they didn't.

it's like a cleaner fictional US version of the 7 Up Series

my only "issue" with the movie was that the main characters just seemed so perfect and normal, while everyone around them was crazy/asshole/bitch (one exception was the wife of Ethan Hawke's character)
made you wonder why the hell Ethan Hawk and Patricia Arquette's characters couldnt stay together
