Honey Boy (2019)
5/10
But why?
3 April 2022
This is essentially a 90 minute therapy session for La Beouf, all at our expense. There is no arguing that the three male leads give convincing performances, especially Jupe, and full marks to LaBeouf for taking on the role of his own dysfunctional and abusive father but self reflective narcissism will only take an audience so far. What the movie lacks is a grounding in where we are at any given moment especially as we know this LaBeouf's story, but we are not helped in that. The movie also suffers from a one dimensional doom laden narrative which although probably an accurate reflection of how LaBeouf saw his past life. Interesting but not wholly satisfying.
