- It's great to have the luxury (and of course, the talent) of telling the world what your childhood "felt" like. Because that's what this predominantly story-less movie is all about: the atmosphere of Richard Linklater's 1960's childhood in Texas, where the first men on the moon were being launched from your hometown of Houston. And didn't we all imagine ourselves as kids as the tycoon with hundreds of cool cars, Elton John playing in concert, or Neil Armstrong going to the moon? Linklater inserts that childhood dream of being the first man on the moon into his coming-of-age recollections, and makes this an enjoyable movie (in animated form, no less), even if you weren't born in America, or didn't have American childhood aspirations.
- Available on Netflix.
