Boyhood (2014)
The interesting thing about this film is that this movie was made over the span of 12 years using the same cast who met annually to make shots. This set-up seem especially important in this coming-of-age movie as the theme is about growing up and the protagonist was a child at the beginning of the movie and goes to college at the end. Over the years, we can also see the adults changing their appearances.
It is basically about a boy growing up through the years as his mother goes through 3 broken marriages and he deals with 3 different father figures. The mother, Olivia (Patricia Arquette), becomes a teenage mother with a drifter. She becomes a single mother of two and steps again into 2 unfulfilling marriages. Olivia herself empowers herself through education and became a lecturer.
The boy, Mason, grows up discovering about life and his adulthood through his biological father who pops up every so often.
