If you fell in love with Timothée Chalamet while watching his spellbinding performance in Call Me By Your Name, prepare to have your heart broken all over again with Beautiful Boy. In Felix Van Groeningen’s English-language debut, the Academy Award-nominated actor plays a young drug addict struggling to see a way out of the darkness that seems to surround him, supported by his father, who is played by the always brilliant Steve Carell.

Adapted by the BAFTA award-winning writer Luke Davies (Lion), the film is based upon the bestselling memoirs of David Sheff and his son, Nic. The fact that Beautiful Boy has its basis in truth only serves to make it more honest in its portrayal of a family in crisis. Similarly, the bond between a father and son is a unique and precious thing – even when pushed to its limits – and there’s an easy chemistry to Chalamet’s and Carell’s performances. (Picture House).
