By Bob Bloom It may have sounded like a gimmick, shooting a movie over 12 years to capture the pains and joys of growing up, but Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” was so much more. It featured characters who seemed so real, so ordinary, that you’d think you were watching a documentary. The film featured strong performances all around, and that is among the reasons I chose it as the best movie of 2014.
