Based on the best-selling pair of memoirs from father and son, David and Nic Sheff, Beautiful Boy chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with meth addiction over many years. With Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Amy Ryan, and Maura Tierney.
“Hard to take and impossible to forget.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Chalamet is so good it’s worth seeing Beautiful Boy for his work alone.” — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
“Chalamet’s charismatic, maddening Nic is spectacular, and the film’s stubbornly unresolved view of loving an addict – its perception of the experience as a grueling, endless walk beside someone – is brutal but feels honest.” — Linda Holmes, NPR
