Review of Beautiful Boy (2018) by Goodfellas100 — 02 Apr 2019
This film should have won an Oscar for it's screenplay. It's a heartbreaking story of a loving father's struggle to help his addicted son. You will leave the cinema affected by the downward spiral of a talented son who finds solace in this mad world through drugs and alcohol.
It is bleak and it should be. There appears to be references to Kurt Cobain throughout and the acting is just first class. I am a recovering addict myself and agree with the film's message that no matter how loving and well intentioned you are to help someone, the only person who decides whether they will survive in life or not is the addict.
I am a survivor.
