Multi-nominated and award-winning, this is a true labour of love. Linklater & his cast spent 12 years making a film about a family. It follows the son of separated parents and studies their relationship. This is the epic made deeply personal, with superb performances by the child leads as well as Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette. Strictly no admission to under 16s.
