I love this film. It's about a little boy called Mason and you see him go from a small child to a young man throughout the movie.

Has anyone else seen it?

I watched this recently. I really enjoyed it. I found it very powerful and love that they used the cast throughout.

Yep.

Well done on the efforts made to have the actors actually age by filming over a long period of time.

I never seen it but I saw The Simpsons spoof of it fallowing Bart. I don't think I would like that kind of movie.

Oh yeah that was so good! I honestly didn't think a movie like that could work, especially with all the challenges the filmmakers took on (I sometimes think it could have been made on a dare, with the stuff they did). Certainly one of the best-acted films I've ever seen too.
