Rick McGinnis: Linklater’s ‘Boyhood’ cannot escape emotional facts

September 24, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Rick McGinnis writes:

Like most children of divorce, Mason and his sister wish that their parents would get back together, and balk at their mother’s attempts to build a new family when, as far as they’re concerned, they already had one. And so once again a film populated with liberal characters, created from a very liberal sensibility, ends up confirming a deeply conservative tenet simply because you can’t argue with emotional facts.
