when you find out jasper's life savings were $8...i felt that
stephanieJan 6, 2019one of the scenes in the book that impacted me the most was the one where karen sees nic drive off and she chases him with her car, and i’m so happy it made it into the film (even though it’s done differently but hey we’re not nitpicky). but they ommitted the line which…

“Monster’s gone… He’s on the run… And your daddy’s here …”
Celt likedBeautiful BoyTruly heartbreaking. I’m amazed by how they were able to evoke the horrible feeling of watching someone consistently hurt themselves, but you can do nothing about it. I also loved that they never vilify Nic.

TW! Beautiful Boy. The most beautiful movie I’ve seen in years. Story about family and the struggles addiction causes to the addict and loved ones. “Have you seen my son? Have you seen my beautiful boy? Tell him I miss him.” TEARSSSSS! Tissue WARNING!
Beck likedBeautiful BoyMovie was rly good don't get me wrong but.. grammy? idk it was enjoyable all the way through but it never rly made me laugh or cry or anything like that yk? i do recommend it for sure tho
ennis lovedBeautiful BoyYou absolutely will ball your eyes out about 20 times. The monster’s gone, He’s on the run, And your daddy’s here, Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful boy. Genuinely such a gut wrenching, heart throbbing movie and it actually teaches you about the terrors behind drugs.

An intense rollercoaster of emotion is what I call this movie, as well as a PSA to all those with subsistence addictions. However, I can’t help to take an interest in the father and how his love of his son impacted his blended family, and he had to make a detrimental choice.
bean lovedBeautiful BoyThis was so tragic. Challenging to watch. It was fantastic though. Amazing performances from all actors. Just so raw and real. Gave you a lot of perspectives and gives you a lot to think about after it’s over. The very end had me in tears. Beautiful film.
Matt likedBeautiful BoyGreat film that pulls no punches. Chamalet and Steve Carrell are both great here. It’s a true life story that’s very well written. It’s powerful stuff that shows how drugs can destroy peoples life’s. A really good hard hitting drama

Timothée Chalamet completely transformed to be Nic Sheff. The movie is worthy of seeing multiple times. So many details that will only catch your eyes after second or third watch.
ACAnna CarlsonA great depiction of what addition is and how it affects those around you. As such, it was one of the more depressing movies I've seen in years. All the acting was exceptional! It's hard to capture emotion like that but everyone did so well!
ACAnthony CavataioThe way this film utilizes silence and relies heavily on realistic background noise is ingenious. This is a powerful film.

Powerful, emotional, heart-wrenching film with breathtaking performances by Uber-talented Timothee Chalamet and Carell. Not just a movie about drug addiction, but a beautiful love story between father and son. Definitely a strong Oscar contender for both leads, director,…
MMMawyki MawykiDeeply sad and you root for them all through the entire movie
RPRyan PaulReally great cast and acting. The story is powerful and hits close to home. It was very emotional. This is not an upbeat movie but definitely worth watching.
- HHHunter Herdlicka
Extremely un-engaging. Steve Carrell plays a clueless father and it’s beyond frustrating. Anyone who knows about addiction will think this film is dull and contrived, even though it’s based on a true story.
SNSteven NeftVery heavy drama and very true to life
MMMartha MoralesThis movie was brutal, but so honest. It was depressing, but it shows the reality of addiction, and though very sad, it does live you with a sense of hope. The acting was suburb! Timothee and Steve were amazing! I loved the movie, but maybe because it hit really close to…

Carell, Chalamet and their supporting players can only spit-shine a relatively rote addiction story so much; by the time the thrill of their work passes, it’s easy to find oneself waiting for more.

It may not be a great movie, but Timotheé Chalamet delivers a performance so vibrant that it almost rubs off on everything else, and he’s matched in every scene by Steve Carell, Maura Tierney and Amy Ryan.

The detachment at work in Beautiful Boy suggests an attempt to speak clearly and truthfully, to resist the clichés of the addiction drama while acknowledging that those clichés can hardly be rewritten.
