FILM REVIEW
A timely story of addiction in ‘Beautiful Boy’
By LINDSEY BAHR
Associated Press
Relapse is part of recov-
ery. That’s what one doctor in
“Beautiful Boy “ tells David
Sheff (Steve Carell), the dis-
traught father of a teenage
son, Nic (Timothée Chalamet),
who has been dabbling in alco-
hol, weed, cocaine, heroin and
crystal meth, and has become
an addict.
He disappears for nights on
end from his father’s idyllic
home in the woods outside of
San Francisco which he shares
with a stepmother, Karen
(Maura Tierney), and his two
very young step-siblings. He
steals his little sister’s savings
($8). He lies. He hurts every-
one around him. He goes to
rehab. He seems to be turning
over a new leaf. And then he
starts the cycle all over again.
“Beautiful Boy” is an hon-
est portrait of how addic-
tion affects families and how
it’s not something that can be
wrapped up and packaged into
a neat and tidy narrative. It’s
ugly and messy, with moments
of grace and hope, but mostly
despair.
The film is based on a pair
of memoirs, one by Nic Sheff
and one by David Sheff, and
directed by Belgian filmmaker
Felix Van Groeningen in his
English language debut. This
may be depicting a family’s
story in the recent past, but
there is hardly a more timely
subject matter to explore.
Van Groeningen directs the

S UNDAY E VENING
A
melded stories in an uncon-
ventional and often disorient-
film seem occasionally like
one extended montage or love-
ly-looking music video.
Van Groeningen also tends
to favor flashbacks to various
stages of Nic’s pre-teen child-
hood as David looks adoringly
on his sweet, innocent son. It’s
all well and good, but are we
to be surprised that an addict
could have once been a sweet
and innocent child?
It is a frustrating diver-
sion mainly because the best
parts of “Beautiful Boy” are
when Carell and Chalamet are
together. I wonder whether
there is a version of this movie
that exists where the time-
line is straight, and it is just
laser focused on Nic’s ups and
downs since he started using
drugs.

and not a lot of establishing
context.
Some jumps make sense,
like David, sitting in a cafe and
waiting for his grown son to
meet him after a bender, and
remembering sitting at that
same table years ago with Nic
as a much younger child and
goofing around trying to speak
Klingon to one another. Oth-
ers are just confusing. Is Nic
returning after a semester in
college, you wonder? Did he
graduate? When, exactly, does
he smoke pot with his father?
Before or after he confesses to
trying meth?
Perhaps disorientation is
the point, a commentary on life
and jumbled memories, but for
the viewer it can be trying. The
editing choices can make this
