Timothée Chalamet completely transformed to be Nic Sheff. The movie is worthy of seeing multiple times. So many details that will only catch your eyes after second or third watch.

A great depiction of what addition is and how it affects those around you. As such, it was one of the more depressing movies I've seen in years. All the acting was exceptional! It's hard to capture emotion like that but everyone did so well!

Carell, Chalamet and their supporting players can only spit-shine a relatively rote addiction story so much; by the time the thrill of their work passes, it’s easy to find oneself waiting for more.

It may not be a great movie, but Timotheé Chalamet delivers a performance so vibrant that it almost rubs off on everything else, and he’s matched in every scene by Steve Carell, Maura Tierney and Amy Ryan.

The detachment at work in Beautiful Boy suggests an attempt to speak clearly and truthfully, to resist the clichés of the addiction drama while acknowledging that those clichés can hardly be rewritten.
