I just did not care about BOYHOOD one bit! God, I never hated a movie so much.
Love Boyhood, and I mean love. Bad News Bears and School of Rock I would describe as his lesser pictures. I like them both, but next to Slacker, Dazed and Confused, A Scanner Darkly (probably the best Philip K. Dick adaptation), Boyhood, and the Before Sunrise trilogy, they nearly look like the work of a different director.

Bet they wouldn't.

Hawke's wasn't exactly a personal attack anyway. He used her as an example to mount a ham-fisted, and frankly unfounded argument, simply because she's the hot young actress of the moment. It might just as easily have been another hot young star, but Jennifer's who sprung to mind. It was a little whine, nothing more. One day working with her would soon show him that she was the wrong example to pick, and he'd be singing her praises come press time, just the same as anyone else who's worked with her.
