Since the movie Boyhood came out almost a year ago, many film critics have given this wonderful coming‐of‐age story glowing reviews. And many parents have discussed it, between themselves, on social media, and on blogs, saying that its slice‐of‐life reality resonated with their own experiences. The movie has an R rating (no one under 17 allowed without a parent), which is likely to discourage many parents from bringing their children to see it, but there is good reason for families to see this movie, and to see it together.
