1.) Boyhood (Richard Linklater) - Filmed a few days a year over 12 years, this is without a doubt one of the most ambitious undertakings in the history of moviemaking. Perhaps no other film has been harder for me to review than this one, and there’s a reason. Watching the film can be called post-verbal, where poetry has become life and life has become poetry. Every moment has meaning, though it’s not always obvious what that meaning is. It is a transcendental experience unmatched by almost any other in movies and destined to be a classic in the same vein as 2001: A Space Odyssey. It has my highest possible recommendation.
