PanARMENIAN.Net - IFC Films has set Richard Linklater’s time-lapse drama “Boyhood” for a July 11 U.S. release, Variety said.

In his review, Variety’s Peter Debruge said the film “challenges popular notions of dramatic development.”

“Boyhod” was produced by Linklater, Cathleen Sutherland, Jonathan Sehring and John Sloss, and was fully financed by IFC Films.
