Boyhood Indie Movie 2014 News, Rumors, Reveals and Teasers: Patricia Arquette and Lorelei Linklater Star in Flick

The beauty of independent movies is that film makers more than often than not have the creative freedom that their studio funded counterparts cannot afford. With big studios breathing down your back your creativity might be stifled a little bit. Written, directed and produced by Richard Linklater, Boyhood is one of those movies where creative freedom is evident. The filming of the movie was shot from the year 2002 to 2013 and has already won nine of the eleven awards it was nominated for including the Berlin International Film Festival award for Best Director and might as well find itself on the Oscars list for 2015. The movie has gotten multiple good reviews including a 5/5 rating from Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian.

Their mother, Olivia moves the family so she can attend the University of Houston and complete her studies. Jump to 2004 and Olivia takes Ethan to class with her introducing him to her professor, Bill.

The year is now 2008 and Samantha has a boyfriend which comes to the attention of her father Ethan Sr. who gives her the talk.
