5-star Tuesday at Filmhuis Breda: Boyhood

There are films that have received overwhelmingly positive reviews, yet are still too often overlooked – or perhaps you simply missed them. To give you another chance to experience these masterpieces on the big screen, Filmhuis Breda presents a five-star-rated film on the last Tuesday of every month.

On June 24 at 7:00 PM, the third film in this series will be shown: Boyhood, including an introduction.

“It’s raining stars for the indescribably moving Boyhood,” wrote de Volkskrant in 2014. That same year, the paper named it the best film of the year. The film was nominated for no fewer than six Oscars.

Boyhood is a unique cinematic experience unlike anything else in film history. Shot over an impressive twelve-year period with the same cast, the film captures the youth of Mason in astonishing detail.

In this touching coming-of-age story, we watch Mason grow up before our eyes, from boy to young man. We also follow his sister Samantha and their divorced parents. As the years go by, we see how each of them navigates new phases in life and how their relationships evolve.

A beautiful and heartfelt ode to growing up, family life, and the passage of time. An instant classic that leaves no one untouched.
