Review of Honey Boy (2019) by Dawdlingpoet — 11 Aug 2022
This is quite a sobering watch. It certainly highlights a dysfunctional father to son relationship - one I believe based on the upbringing of actor Shia LaBeouf. I can't not feel sorry for him for being basically lumbered with a verbally, emotionally and somewhat physically abusive father.
The films title comes from a nickname the father gives. I certainly wouldn't say its a complimentary one, put it that way. It's a somewhat insightful film I suppose...I'm not sure quite how much can be learnt from it per se but its not a bad film as such, its a frustrating film in a way but then I guess its a sort of story that needs to be told, in one respect.
The characters are somewhat quirky and I suppose overall yes I'd recommend it, if it interests you, though its not what I'd call a perfect film - I'm a bit unsure what conclusions to come to, what the ending was really.
