Teenager Nicolas Sheff seems to have it all with good grades and being an actor, artist, athlete and editor of the school newspaper. When Nic’s addiction to meth threatens to destroy him, his father does whatever he can to save his son and family. “Chalamet now leaves no doubt that he’s an actor of refined and profound gifts: His performance in “Beautiful Boy” helps elevate a boho-bourgeois melodrama to something that aspires to be more achingly real and human.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
