Beautiful Boy (I) (2018)
6/10
Music, editing and direction ruined it for me
21 June 2021
I'm SO angry with this movie. The story and performances were amazing. Seriously, what happened with Timothée Chalamet's Oscar nomination? Steve Carrell, Maura Tierney and Amy Ryan shine too. The movie was painful to watch, life's hard but drogs make it harder. It's such a shame that the film is also (in my opinion) poorly edited (sometimes it was very confusing to watch the flashbacks and the present). But the most horrible thing was the music, so annoying! Except for a few -close ups- scenes, every single one had a horrible song on it. Why?? Dramas aren't suppose to contain so many songs. Let the script and the actors do their job!! Disappointed on Felix Van Groeningen.

6,5/10.
