In The Neighborhood

Boyhood 

Get to the IFC to catch a showtime of Boyhood, Richard Linklater's poignant new film about growing up. This movie is quite an epic feat-- Linklater shot with the original cast for a few days every year to arrive at the final film, which spans 12 years and chronicles the real-time growth of the actors and the world. Fall back into childhood again with adolescent road trips, family dinners and all the intimate moments in between. This film truly is a time capasule that will remind you, nostalgically, of your own childhood.
