Richard Linklater’s 2014 movie about a family is a remarkable film, and a remarkable achievement, in part because of the way it was filmed. Rather than use makeup and special effects to age the cast over a period of years, Linklater gathered them for a few weeks each year, for a dozen years, capturing the changing lives, and looks, of his central characters. Ellar Coltrane plays the boy, Mason, with Patricia Arquette (who won an Oscar) as his mom, Ethan Hawke as his dad, and Linklater’s real-life daughter, Lorelei, as Mason’s sister. On film, it’s a remarkable transformation to watch – but loyal TV viewers of long-running series are used to this, only in an elongated fashion. (Think of Kiernan Shipka’s Sally Draper on Mad Men.)
