Just saw "Beautiful Boy." I'd been eagerly awaiting this one since I'm a fan of the book and of the actors. But the film seemed determined to paint Nic Sheff's substance abuse as a strange outlier in an otherwise perfect life, instead of showing that his substance abuse was related to bipolar disorder. Treating underlying mental illness can be a key to treating addiction, and I'd hoped that the movie would bring awareness to that. Also, it would have made the movie more dramatically interesting and kept it from being just a series of overdoses and relapses. So despite a great performance by Timothée Chalamet, this one felt like a missed opportunity.
