To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I always wanted to watch this film because of its cast but in most cases they are either not utilised properly or have very underdeveloped characters. There is no coherent structure and in many cases I didn't know what message the director wanted to deliver. The movie is a mix of poor parenting, addiction, spoilt youthhood & toxic relationships but doesn't seem to show any of them in the right manner. It is very exploitative & poorly written, other than a few gorgeous shots nothing seems memorable or likable

Great acting. But the actual movie is crap. It doesn't lead anywhere. It just sets up for a big climax that never comes. The last scene could've made the whole thing worth it. But no. No reward for the patience.

This story is nothing new and millions of families in America have dealt with this mess. What made this weak was this kid never faced any of the consequences most do when addicted. It would be so super rare that it made the movie ridiculous. I did not even really feel an authentic exhaustion that goes along with chasing after a drug addicted teen.

I waited YEARS for this book to become a movie , then waited months for it to come out in big screen, then counted the hours until I was able to go see it........and then counted the seconds for this Aweful dissapointment to be over. Where to begin....first off there were so many flashbacks in the first half of the movie that I completely lost track of the story (and that's even after being an avid fan of the book , I can only imagine what the normal viewer is suffering through) besides for the fact that there were too many flashbacks , the flashbacks were so different in nature that it totally threw you off! There were flashbacks within flashbacks, flashbacks that only went back a few months , flashbacks that audio began before the actual flashback ......to sum up in one word ....CONFUSING. I know a lot of ppl would berate me for giving an Oscar worthy performance by Steve carrol a 2 but it had nothing to do with him, the movie focuses on the wrong parts of the story l, and the viewer doesn't develop an emotional connection to nick! Bottom line the movie isn't as good as the book ( it almost never is but it could definitely be closer then this was)

First I'll say that Timothee did a pretty damn good job. Now the movie/story; I think it was inaccurate to say it was also based on Tweak, because it wasn't! Maybe a sentence or 2 of Tweak was in it here and there but it was highly based on David (Beautiful Boy) rather than Nic(Tweak). The movie seems to really ask for the audiences sympathy, where in Tweak Nic doesn't, more so just shares his story as an addict straightforward and raw. Definitely worth checking out, though I did hope for it to have been less fluffy.

Considering the acting talent on screen, this story should have been much more involving, much more affecting. But somehow it got turned into a repetitive dirge that keeps us at arm's length and teaches us nothing. At the end there's just a title card that says how bad the addiction epidemic is, how services are underfunded, and then tells you if you are struggling, ask for help. Duh. Everyone on screen, the two real-life principals, and everyone struggling with addiction, all deserved better. But bravo to Carrell and Chalamet for some really fine acting. If you're interested in the subject matter, this film is worth seeing. But no Oscar nominations.

A wonderful movie of the damage addiction causes in our lives and how insidious it can be. The cast does a wonderful job in portraying the different aspects with the exception of keeping it a little too clean in terms of the thefts and betrayals. Very inspirational in the portrayal of the family not quitting on Nic while realizing it's on Nic to make the decision to stay in recovery. All too real. All respect to the Sheff family. Everything!!

This is a trip you won't want to make. Self-indulgent Marin County family (the mother paints the trees in her yard) is torn apart by the son's descent into drugs. They seem to have endless piles of money since there's never a word said about the costs of the various rehab programs the kid goes through. Being a freelance writer must be one helluva good paying job. So OK, the acting is fine. Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet go through their grim paces without cracking a smile. Maura Tierney and Amy Ryan as the mothers are even more relentlessly dour. Even the flashbacks to "happier times" aren't. This story has been done to death and there's nothing new here except maybe highlighting the perils of the drug du jour: crystal meth. By the end of the over-long film, you realize you don't know these people at all ... and you don't want to.
