Beautiful Boy (2018, Amazon)
This film intrigued & ticked several interesting boxes for CJ - Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, father/son dynamic, based on a true story - so I thought i’d give it a whirl.
It’s a sad tale of white middle-class addiction. There’s no fist-pumping soundtrack here, no heart-pounding set piece spectaculars, no special effects. Just two talented actors bringin the source material to life and doing some serious male bonding in between meth benders. If that sounds like something you can get behind why not give it a whirl too? The film that is, not the meth benders obviously.
7.5/10
