Phoenix C @RT03931742 Oct 17, 2026 There is something especially heartbreaking about watching someone you love slowly become someone you don't recognize, and Beautiful Boy captures that feeling in a way that stays with you. This movie is genuinely heartbreaking but honestly I really recommend watching it. It shows the struggles of addiction and how it doesn’t just affect the person who has the addiction. See more

Mate P @matepolcz Sep 8, 2026 Beautiful Boy has a generic premise, but incredible execution. The characters are well-written and pretty stereotypical, but it works on a level not many films deliver. The story is pretty generic as well, but I projected an ending in the middle of the film that I completely thought was going to happen, so I was surprised to see that I was wrong. The dialogues are perfectly-written, never too little or too much. The directing is obviously incredible, because the movie works on the emotions, although that is also fueled by the incredible acting performances from everyone, but Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet absolutely deserve a shoutout. The cinematography is unusually modern. They put ND filters on the windows so we would see the beauty of tha family's garden, which juxtaposes everything happening. The pacing and the production design are immaculate. The cast is perfectly fitting and I already talked about acting, but man Steve Carell. I never imagined he would make me cry. See more

Lara R @h3artz4lara Aug 23, 2026 Beautiful boy is the best movie I have ever seen in my life. Holy shit. Timothee chalamet perfectly embodies how it feels and looks to be a young addict. As a high school student, his behaviors look and feel exactly like how I felt when I was struggling with an addiction, as well as other people I know still going through that. This movie had me balling my eyes out alone on my bed. I have never felt so sympathetic with someone on a TV screen, acting, than I did while watching this. The actors know what they are doing and I almost felt like I could step through the screen and hold hands with them, I wish I could. Anyone who is planning on watching this movie needs to gather up some tissues and needs to be absolutely ready. This movie is actually the most gut wrenching heart breaking experience I have ever had. I don’t think, even in real life, I could ever express the feelings expressed through this movie. I loved this movie more than I love life itself. Amazing movie. 10/10 from me. See more

Logan R @RT30853336 Jul 25, 2026 Nearly perfect film. The repetition and relapsing creates a really tragic story. Steve Carell and timothee Chalmet were the perfect cast. I understand why people find the music jarring, but i think it added to the tragedy and uncertainity of Nic's sobriety. The movie in itself felt a little long, but there is not a single scene I would cut, every detail was meticulously thought out. This is definitely in my top 5 movies. See more
