4. Boyhood- September(ish)
This uniquely epic project by Richard Linklater is essentially a coming of age story. A story that took 12 years to film as we follow Mason (Ellar Coltane) from the age of 6 to 18. It's fascinating to watch him and his parents, played by Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette on screen. The actors age as their characters evolve in what is probably the best example of method acting captured on film. Boyhood was set for an August release date in the UAE but according to Gulf Film, the film's regional distributor, the release has been delayed until the film can be submitted for censorship. It should be out sometime in September.
