Beautiful Boy

Terrific acting dominates this gut-wrenching, factually based, dark, realistic, slow-paced, 2-hour film based on David Sheff's bestselling memoir Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction and Nic Sheff's memoir Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines that chronicles the struggle of a desperate magazine writer (Steve Carell), who lives with his artistic wife (Maura Tierney) and two young children (Christian Convery and Oakley Bull) in San Francisco, as he tries with his ex-wife (Amy Ryan) to help his smart, 19-year-old son (Timothée Chalamet) who is addicted to a slew of drugs, including crystal meth.
