The leads are superb, buoyed by Amy Ryan as Nic's mom, Maura Tierney as his stepmother, and LisaGay Hamilton in a moving cameo.
When the family dynamics are front and center, "Beautiful Boy" resonates, as it reflects the ugliness of addiction and the long tail it wags.
"Beautiful Boy" is a welcome corrective, of sorts. If only it weren't quite so . . . clean.
Imperfect yet affecting.
A test of an actor is playing someone who's split in so many ways that he moves forward while looking backwards and vice versa, and Chalamet is already a master.
Chalamet is asked to hit some big notes in this performance, but we never see him acting. That's true greatness in the making.
