The music choices in this movie... well they certainly were choices.

do you think that smoking drugs is cool? do you think that doing alcohol is cool?

screening + q&a with timothée “the boy!” chalamet

this is a 2 hour competition of WHO WANTS THE OSCAR MORE? between timmy and steve carell. also during the q&a the microphone was not on and baby boy did not notice

the devil works hard but timothée's tear ducts work harder

timothée: i don’t do meth! *sneaks off to do meth*

steve carrell: WHHY ARE YOU RUNNING?? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING????????

imagine this but repeated every 20 minutes over the course of 2 hours and you have beautiful boy (2018)

I was nervous about this film going in, being a big admirer of the book. But it is possibly the most realistic depiction of addiction at a young age that I've ever seen -- right up there with Christiane F. Or maybe it just most accurately reflects my own experience of battling drug addiction. A masterful, music-centric exploration of abnormal psychology and substance dependence. Some viewers may take issue with the soundtrack structure, but I felt it flawlessly articulated all of the appropriate feelings associated with chemical abuse, and the destruction of everything in its wake. I am entirely emotionally eviscerated but, above all else, simply grateful to be alive.

I really like Felix van Groeningen. I have seen The Broken Circle Breakdown and The Misfortunates. Hoping to catch up on the rest of his filmography soon.

Interesting that the PR on this film seems to make it about the opiod epidemic when it's really about methamphetamine addiction. I know people on meth and unfortunately I didn't quite believe the portrayal of it in this film. On a positive note, I thought Steve Carell was quite believable as the enabling dad.

Deluxe screener

amazon studios have recognised my 2 weaknesses
• a focus on a soft father/son relationship
• michael scotts struggle for happiness

Steve Carell plucking some random girl off the street and pinning her as a meth addict just because she looked a little grungy was... a choice?? hope he doesn't catch me on one of my off days

When Steve Carell cries we all cry

soooooooo amazingly good

Me gustan Carell y Chalamet, así que me duele verlos arrastrados a semejante canallada.

Una película que parece diseñada para pasarla en colegios evangelistas a chicos de 12 años para manipularlos emocionalmente con la esperanza de que piensen que LA DROGA es un monstruo del cual se tienen que cuidar mirando abajo de la cama todas las noches (A tal punto es así que prácticamente no vemos al protagonista consumir ¿Con quienes se droga? ¿Cuando?).

Por su acercamiento terriblemente inmaduro al conflicto parece diseñada a medida para lavar las culpas del padre antes que para abordar con un mínimo de seriedad la problemática de sus personajes. Oh, casualidad, el padre es quien escribió la historia del libro en que se basa la película.

La utilización de la música es uno de los más insoportables que vi en mucho tiempo. Una película sobre "el flagelo de la droga" filmada como si fuera una publicidad de Visa.

Abyección.

Bellisisisima 💔

On the real i really liked this movie but what’s up with the music choices...?

i love this movie so much it makes me cry every time and want to be in movies and holy moly i love it

makes my heart 💔💔

never noticed how ominous the music choices for this film really are. I appreciate brad Pitt's effort tho

Hay películas que se ven justo en el momento que necesitabas verlas, y para mi esta es una de ellas.
Una historia muy bien escrita que te llega hasta lo mas profundo de tus sentimientos. Al ser padre de dos hijos pude entender lo que es sentirse dividido, sentir que eres feliz y al mismo tiempo preocupado por el bienestar de esa otra persona que también forma parte de tu vida. Recomendada!

El soundtrack!

A film of this nature needs to be dealt with very carefully but the audience is always removed, the emotions are seen rather than experienced, as if we're looking at the rollercoaster instead of riding it. The film only introduces us to the characters mid-crisis, and there's not a single scene that isn't either related to Nic's addiction, or a flashback from a scene related to his addiction.
Besides this, the acting is incredible. I wish the director could have made some better choices and really given these actors room to shine. I feel like this could have been great.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

One of the saddest, most emotional, and heartbreaking movies I’ve ever seen. This movie made me cry so much but it’s truly beautiful. I would denfinitely recommend it.
