Boyhood (I) (2014)

Awesome Idea, but nothing more

[6/10 · 20 January 2016]

I found this movie really interesting, because of how it was filmed, but after the first i couldn't oversee the fact, that the guy can't play the role authentic. I don't mind how cool and exciting it is to see this guy(family) grow up, I personally enjoy a good movie with good actors way more, than average movie, with not so good actors and a cool filming gimmick. I think this was a wasted opportunity, because the this is clearly something never made before, but it was always a risk, cause people can develop very differently over the time of 12 years. I have read many reviews of this film and it seems to be the same problem with the revenant now. Every one knows how awesome it should be, but no one is quite brave enough to say that something wasn't good in those movies.

Lets see if we will get a similar film in the future.

Unexpectedly Good

When I first saw this movie, I was at the Fantasy film fest and this was the last screening on the first day. I didn't expect anything and this movie just set a mark for me. This movie finally made a dark place really dark again, Since i know a lot of turkey people and know some words, I really enjoyed the conversation in this movie, cause they are quite realistic. So what I thought would turn out to a funny Turkish splatter-film, turned into a bizarre Minfuck Horrorfilm, which instantly made it in my personal Top20 of the year. I think its an movie half of the people will love, and the other half will hate it, but nonetheless a must see movie in my Opinion.
