A largely shapeless coming-of-age epic, what's most compelling here is the succession of breathtakingly beautiful images (including a couple of bewitching sequences in color), which take full advantage of the Swedish countryside and the springy, lo-fi New Wave aesthetic. But there's a realism and a relatability here that is remarkable, and very easy to admire. To put it in perspective, Boyhood would be America's Here Is Your Life.

Jan Troell exhibits a fully-formed mastery of cinema In one of the most ambitious and impressive debuts I've ever seen, an epic, nearly three-hour long adaptation of a coming-of-age novel serial. The beauty is that it doesn't come off as a condensed dramatization of some grand plot (as most similar efforts do), but rather like an organic, breathing procession of glimpses into a teenager's life. Every scene is like a new experience, the same way life unveils itself to Olof.

Torturously slow and meandering, yet hypnotic. Took me 3 nights to finish it as I kept falling asleep yet I couldn't wait to get back to it. Stayed on my mind for weeks afterwards.
