Beautiful Boy (2018, D: van Groeningen) S: Carell, Chalamet, Ryan, Tierney

Based on the best-selling pair of memoirs from father and son David and Nic Sheff, Beautiful Boy chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years.


This looks really good. Steve Carell has turned into my favorite actor at the moment. Dude has evolved in such an amazing way.

Oh damn. I didn't realize this was that director. I saw that one at a film fest the year it came out... probably one of the heaviest flicks I've seen in my life.

Yea, that film is incredible. His follow-up, Belgica, is on Netflix. I keep meaning to get it to it...

The song in that trailer is by Sigar Roos, but what other movie is it in? The Life Aquatic?

I saw this last night and it didn't do much for me. It was dull and repetitive. The tone was a bit all over the place. The performances were good though.

I thought given their past history casting Amy Ryan as the mother and Steve Carell's ex was an odd decision. I guess having Michael and Holly as your parents would probably make you a drug addict.

As for the movie I thought it lacked narrative flow.

I thought this was great and Chalamet hit it out of the park and great song selection.

Maybe this will never get a Blu-ray release in the U.S. though it is available overseas.
