Courtesy of Rock Action Records,Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet are the main reasons to see this film. They bring some otherwise shaky material powerfully to life. Beautiful Boy definitely tries to elicit many emotional responses from its audience, but only succeeds some of the time. It doesn't end up being quite as impactful as I think it intends and it doesn't seem to really end up saying anything about drug addiction. The great performances by its two leads though help make this one worth watching.,
