Beautiful Boy (2018)
Chalamet Stars In Gripping Drama About Drug Addiction
Chalamet's development into a superstar is on full display in this breathtaking drama about love, addiction, family, relationships and the impact we humans have on each other. The moments where Nic is fully addicted to drugs he turns into a demon that not even his father can bear to be around. The stark contrast between the two Nics has devastating impact on his entire family. The music in the film is a quality selection, and sets the tone well for many scenes in the movie, including Nic's drug induced benders. For all that "Beautiful Boy" has going for it, it is not without its faults, the father played by Steve Carell is terribly miscast. I'm a big fan of most of his work, but the serious nature of the role didn't suit him. Overall a very solid watch that gives you a bit of perspective on drug addiction, and how it can tear apart what appears to be a normal happy family on the surface.
