Boyhood (8:30p — Union South Marquee)
For this coming of age movie to end all coming of age movies, Richard Linklater shot Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Ellar Coltrane and his own daughter in real time over a period of 12 years. Boyhood is unlike any film you’ve seen before and considering it’s not due to hit the home video market until January, WUD Film’s FREE screenings are your best bet.
