Honey Boy (2019)

Honey Boy is a Shia LaBeouf biopic, done only how Shia LaBeouf could do it. We never thought it could or should exist, but thank God it does. Honey Boy is profoundly moving and highly insightful about what make's Shia tick. For a while, nobody could understand why Shia was so aggressive and bizarre in his behavior. This film makes sense of it. He is the product of abuse and a lack of proper parenting. Shia portrays what is supposed to be his own father, in a role that has certainly been overlooked last year. Not only is he good, he would in any other year be a lock in a Best Supporting Actor category. We journey back and forth between his childhood as a rising star, and rehab as a washed up actor. It's jarring in that sense, but you couldn't have it any other way. Shia, after this, I wouldn't say that you "Aren't Famous Anymore". If you still are, there's something wrong here. Four and 1/2 out of Five Stars.
