Richard Linklater's critically acclaimed film Boyhood is heading home.

Paramount Home Media Distribution announced Friday that Boyhood is arriving on Blu-Ray/DVD on January 6, 2015.

The film arrives four weeks early on Digital HD on December 9.

Linklater's groundbreaking film was shot over the course of 12 years with the same cast -- Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Lorelei Linklater and Ellar Coltrane. The film's star, Coltrane, started work on the film as a six-year-old and wrapped the film as a 19-year-old.

It received a rare 99% Certified Fresh critical rating on RottenTomatoes.com.

The Associated Press called Boyhood "a landmark without parallel in movie history."

The film's Blu-Ray combo pack includes an in-depth look of what went into making the film, as well as an in-depth Q&A with Linklater and the cast.

Boyhood is among the top films in many award experts' Oscar predictions following its July release.
