Beautiful Boy
Everything. Everything.
Wow. As someone whose family has dealt with really bad drug problems at points, and who has had my own issues with alcohol and drugs in a prior time in my own life this really hits home. The way the story gets told and shows how addiction affects you, your family, and the people around you is so sad. All the points of views it shows like the younger siblings not really knowing exactly what’s going on but knows their brother is sick, and the dad missing his boy and not knowing what he can truly do to help, it’s extremely brutal the way addiction works and this is a true insight into it. Timmy delivers an amazingly heartfelt and fantastic performance that I will think about for years to come, along with 99% of the cast who just really played their roles to such a great level. Felix van Groeningen Really made a masterpiece filled with the feeling of desolation, and this experience of extreme overwhelming despair. On a lighter note the soundtrack is incredibly strong, some amazing shots, and also an incredible effort from the crew.
I wanted to end this review also by saying if you are struggling with drug or alcohol use you are not alone, they is always help for you if that means talking to your friends or family about it, finding a sponsor to support you in your journey, hope is always there even if it’s not visible.
