Beautiful Boy

I will never not come back to this movie. It is so impactful and beautiful. It captures the specific kind of grief where someone is still alive, but you’re losing them anyway. Timothée Chalamet is absolutely phenomenal. There’s something so raw and deep about his performance in this role..It never feels like he’s ‘playing’ an addict. And Steve Carell completely grounds this film. The restraint in his acting makes everything hit so much harder. You can feel every bit of hope and heartache. Some of my personal favourite quotes: “I was good at everything, and then I wasn’t.” “You’re my son. I love you, no matter what.” “I need you to be okay.” and of course, “This is what it’s like loving an addict.” “This is me dad, this is who I am.”
