Linklater developed the script throughout production, writing the next year's portion of the film after rewatching the previous year's footage. He incorporated changes he saw in each actor into the script, while also allowing all major actors to participate in the writing process by incorporating their life experiences into their characters' stories.

The film also competed in the main competition section of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale 2014: Competition Complete )〕 where Linklater won the Silver Bear for Best Director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Awards Of The 64th Berlin International Film Festival )〕 The film was nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress for Arquette.

He promises to spend more time with them. When he drops the children off at home, he argues with Olivia while Mason and Samantha watch from a window. Olivia takes Mason to one of her classes, introducing him to her professor, Bill Welbrock; Mason sees them flirt.
