I had a developmental psychology class in college where we watched parts of the British films and parts of the American films. It was a very interesting experience and caused me to reflect on my own past and speculate about what happened to all the people I used to know.

I just watched the film Boyhood and kept wanting to view it as a documentary, I assumed this was just because it was filmed over such a long period of time with he same actors. However, It probably unconsciously reminded me of the Up series now that I think about it.

I absolutely loved Boyhood. It truly felt as if Mason was a real person and we were getting a peek into the most important moments of his life. I really liked the concept so I might have to give The UP Series a watch.

I've been wanting to see Boyhood too. There were a number of times when I tried to go see it but work or life kept getting in the way. Unfortunately, its no longer in theaters. Is it available to rent now?

I just checked and Boyhood is available in some nearby Redboxes, so maybe there's one near you that has it too. Whenver you find the time, let me know what you think! :D
