Honey Boy

This is slightly like watching someone else's therapy with the names mildly changed. Shia LeBoef wrote and stars in this story of a child actor whose relationship with his father is best described as "mixed" - he's the sole source of income for his father (as dad chaperones him on film sets) and his dad is his main role model (LeBoef plays the dad). We know this didn't go well as we're also introduced to a twenty-something version of the kid as he goes through his third try at rehab, attempting to process this (Lucas Hedges is good if slightly miscast as he matches neither with the kid playing his younger self nor looks particularly Jewish, which dialogue establishes this kid is). It results in a visually impressive and heartfelt film that, if it never really tries to deal with a fully rounded plot, exposes something raw and moving.
