beautiful boy | 2018

The movie - based on the memories of David & Nic Scheff - explores the addiction and the consequences not just only on the addict and his addiction but on their families.  It juxtaposes two addictions, the drug addiction that Nic, marvellously played by Thimothée Chalamet suffers but also the addiction of a father to help his son even, struggling with his own life and family. Steve Carrell shows his talent for drama one more time, letting go his comedian side and portraying a character that, as said before, battles with his own demons like his son.  A film that opens the debate of the drug addiction, the way that it should be treated  and thought-out by the drug addicts, their families but also the governments with their policies.  After all, a feature length where the director, Felix Van Groeningen, achieves to show us both sides of the coin.  Everything . Beautiful boy.
