Boyhood - 10/10

loved it instant classic. Ridiculously ambitious, but refreshingly down-to-earth and loveable and relatable and endearing. It made me feel pretty sad just because the film's main bond seemed to be the father/son one, and I've missed out on that, but it was sweet.

I've already seen the Fault in Our Stars and I'd give it a 6/10... I was expecting it to be worse and the cast is really good, but idk, I just can't look past John Green's obnoxious storytelling and the whole "let's make out in an Anne Frank museum because it's seizing the day!" balls. It was pretty nauseating and just a kind of "yeah there's beauty in the world when there's cancer" message and that's great and everything but ugh. Too teenmovieish I probably sound harsher than a 6 LOL but Shailene Woodley is a great actress and the supporting cast was good too... didn't go too much on Ansel Elgort, he was just a sort-of token dreamboat doofus I guess, and oh GOD the cigarette 'metaphor' PLEASE SHUT UP. But no, nice acting, nice little story, nice message, but irritating.
