Critics in the UK obviously aren't immune to the charms of “Boyhood,” as the film did well with the London Film Critics Circle. Now the Dublin Film Critics Circle has named it the year's best across the channel. The group also revealed its long lists throughout the categories, giving you some insight into which films were in the running. (Personal shout-out to my friends who made the documentary “Showrunners,” which got a little love on the documentary list.)
Check out the full list of winners below and watch it all unfold at The Circuit.
