"AndrÃ© Bazin wrote that art emerged from our desire to counter the passage of time and the inevitable decay it brings. But in â€œBoyhood,â€ Mr. Linklater's masterpiece, he both captures moments in time and relinquishes them as he moves from year to year. He isn't fighting time but embracing it in all its glorious and agonizingly fleeting beauty."

-- Manohla Dargis
