The whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts, and the collective power of it all is quite moving, as a strange, almost unexplainable melancholy and pride hits you as \u201cBoyhood\u201d comes to its conclusion. We\u2019ve watched Mason on his voyage to becoming a young adult, and we have a deep sense of gratification in the knowledge that he\u2019s going to become a fine young man one day. And there\u2019s a sadness in that you just don\u2019t want \u201cBoyhood\u201d to end, with the film a remarkable accomplishment that won\u2019t be forgotten anytime soon.
