Review of Beautiful Boy (2018) by Thatfilmguy20 — 10 Jan 2019

Beautiful Boy is a touching story that tells the pains and struggles from two perspectives, Steve Carell & Timothee Chalamet evoke a spectrum of feelings throughout the film, their relentless delivery offers a great insight into a dark world where solutions are not really straightforward and often doesn't even exist, the film sends a painful message told from a different perspective then we usually see in this genre, but even though its light tone at times it stills feels powerful and honestly impactful in so many ways, I said this many many times, it's really hard to showcase pain on film, it takes a lot from an actor to be able to convey pain but both leads here we more than able to give something meaningful for us to think about.

Beautiful Boy examines a hard aspect of life that consumes the lives of families all around the world, each story is different, just like this one.
