Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell wage war over the memory of a relationship long lost.
A father and son sit across from each other in a cafe that should be neutral ground, but the tension of history and their shame at past failings transform the peaceful setting into a battleground. Fumbling to communicate, family members become combatants. Concern acts as an attack. Love mutates into a poison.
I was not prepared for Beautiful Boy. My first act every morning is to check my phone while still in bed. I peek into email, scroll through Twitter, hunt for any movie news that might have dropped while I slumbered. Pressing play on the Beautiful Boy trailer left me a slobbering mess before I even brushed my teeth. Forcing myself to meet the day became priority number one, and thankfully I have you guys to help me act out my therapy.
