The New York Film Critics Circle has given Richard Linklater’s Boyhood its top honor, naming the film the Best Picture of 2014 and Linklater the year’s Best Director. The NYFCC is the oldest critics group in the country, formed way back in 1935 and consisting of the top critics based in New York. The winners will be honored at a special gala event marking the 80th anniversary of the group on January 5, 2015 at Tao Downtown.
“This was perhaps the most eclectic, least predictable movie year in recent memory, and I think the Circle’s final choices clearly show that diversity, drama and style – which makes Tao Downtown a particularly fitting choice for this year’s gala,” stated NYFCC Chairman Stephen Whitty.
