They seem awfully proud of themselves in the preview.

I saw it last week and really liked it. I won't say too much as I don't want to give away any spoilers - although there isn't much action, it's all character-driven. Ethan Hawke in particular is very good. I enjoyed the parents' stories more than the child's.

It is high on my list of movies I want to see. Reviews are pretty uniformly wonderful, from both critics and movie goers.

I would give it a solid B.

Doesn't start here until tomorrow and my wife is out of town and would be mad if I went without her so I won't get to see it until next week.

Tx for your impressions and thoughts.

I'm intrigued by the glowing reviews in the Dutch press and in the Guardian. But at the same time it's a bit of a tear jerker gimmick to follow a child for that time. And the trailer smacks of Buzzfeed click bait levels of pandering...
Still; I'll go see it. If only because of Linklaters record.

Of course the rise and development of a child is touching and feel good. Made me wonder about filming and tracking the reverse; seeing people age, grow wrinkles, become less lithe. Might not be so feel good perhaps.
