Well, there is no doubt that Timothee is a wonderful actor. He nailed the characters of elio perlman and nic sheff. I don't think getting Oscar is everything. Losing an Oscar doesn't change the fact that Timothee is a great actor . I don't know why some people make it a big deal.
@@frankersgerman3112 As you can see the oscars is not about "the best actor" and so on, rather its about which movies are in spotlight. And my thoughts drifted to the idea that its not easy to watch a film thats touching you and might burst something out of your inner depths.
Timothée nailed his role in this movie, it brought back to many memories of the struggles I had with my own son. The conversations, the worrying, the pain, the helplessness of battling addiction. Unfortunately I lost my son at 20, so I wasn't lucky enough to see my son win his battle. I would have liked to see the movie to go just I bit farther, just to give HOPE that kids can win over this terrible disease of addiction. Sorry you didn't get nominated for an Oscar Timothee, but you are an absolute talent to be recognized!
Sorry for Your lost...🙏🏻! Addiction is a constant and terrible battle ... I know it... and I am also so sorry for my parents dealing this problems... most my mother because my father is sick and he don’t know much... but a little what he knows is painful for each other:((( And my mother too... she try to understand... but this is the kind of facts that we think “it will never happens in my home”... well that’s a Big, Huge Mistake... even my self, I never thought I could and would have this Problem!!! It happened later age (don’t know if is correct, I mean I started for joke with my friends and wasn’t in my adolescence, but after 30y!!!) and thought I would have everything under control!!! And Noooo... than came the depression ... my visitors to the doctors... But at Home where I wanted to start to be “clean” the atmosphere was really difficult... my mother has some age... never lived this experience... so many things she said, hurt me so much that instead of helping me was the contrary!! I know she did not do it on purpose. She just did not know how to do it!! I get it... and I tried to explain that... because the doctors don’t give a fucxxx “book” (doesn’t came the right word!!) to our Parents explain how to deal, special for those People like my mother that don’t manage an computer!!! Or even a mobile phone with display... she’s a Great And Strong Mother And Woman!! And has a big family and her own Problems and others sons/daughters problems... I’m very aware of the difficult situation IS!!! And came to my mind sometimes to stop my life... I have a serious problem I feel Alone I feel that I’m a Another and Big Problem for them... why should continue to live like this...?!! It’s so hard... who wants to live forever like this..?!! I don’t know how I could wrote down all this... it's the solitude to speaking... because I also don’t speak, vent with anyone apart the doctors... People judge so much and many don’t even imagine what I went through... And today first March... it’s a date that I will never forget... in 2010 my boyfriend My Biggest Love died ... cardiac arrest 💔 he was addic... Fakkkkkk! Sorry for All this...
I saw "Beautiful Boy" in its limited theatrical release. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. There was a small audience on a Saturday afternoon of 24 people. Kudos to the screenwriter and director for making the story/film arc identical to the ups and downs of being addicted to drugs and alcohol with the final crash spiraling slowly downwards that I was left emotionally drained and so were many of the members of the audience. ( In front of me sat a guy 21/22 years old who sat with his girlfriend. During the final scene, he slowly leaned over and put his head on her shoulder. She put one arm around him and with her free hand started slowly petting his head and whispered in his ear so that I could hear "After this movie do you need to call your brother?" At that point he wept as he tried to continue to watch the movie). There were audible sobbings. Someone in the back was softly crying out "No No No. Don't do this." The last time I cried this much was when I said goodbye to my father knowing he was going to die only 12 hours later. It was great to see Maura Tierney. I've missed not seeing her since her role as Abby in "ER." The cinematographer Ruben Impens did an incredible job of keeping the frame as closely intimate as possible without intrusion. The final bathroom scene I don't think could have been shot any other way. I'm always impressed by actors who start out in comedy and dare themselves to take a shot at drama. Steve Carell, who made me laugh to tears in "The Office" gave a stunning performance that blew me away. He should've been given an Oscar nod as Best Supporting Actor. If Timothee Chalamet became a star overnight with "Call Me By Your Name" then with "Beautiful Boy" he will be a force to be reckoned with. If he keeps doing roles this challenging then he can forget about shooting for the stars. He might as well aim for galaxies far beyond our own. There is no stopping him. He should've been given an Oscar nod for Best Actor. Writer, director, cinematographer and editor all should have been recognized with Oscar nominations. Shame on the Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for ignoring what is an important film in this day and age where drug overdose is now the second most cause of death with our young generation. Instead they gave an Oscar nod in the Best Picture Category for a comic book film. As a lover of great films, that was a new low for AMPAS to sink to. ATTENTION AMAZON: This film should be put out on DVD. People can still buy and stream but this is an all important movie not just for anyone but for everyone to see and put on DVD collectors shelves along with many classic films. Please do this and thank you for making this film possible.
I love your comment. It reminded me of how deeply the movie touched me, and how deeply Timothee Chalamet´s performance touched me. Just getting reminded of it makes me cry
this movie is so important!!!!! we can’t demonize addicts!!! they’re not inherently bad people, but usually people who feel like the only way out of their situation is substance abuse. they need that comfort because they’re people. not villains.
Nic and David Sheff man their relationship as father and son. Brings tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat. Steve and Timothee did amazing. This entire film and story is so close to me, hats off. Completely.
Timothée has blown me away in this film. So many emotions and tears. He is a true gift to us, the viewers. This story should be shown in all the schools to teach the kids what addiction can do to you and the people who love you. I have 3 daughters and I am terrified of any kind of addiction.
This movie made me cry multiple times bc my family lived through this, the movie was on point. Everyone gets hurt and worried it is crazyy. I never understood why brother went through that path, my parents are good parents but sometimes there is no reason. It got to a point where i didn't care about my brother anymore he had hurt the family multiple times, but mom was constantly anxious and worried about him. It was coool watching this film and seen the parent perspective, I understood my mom more. My brother has been sober for year and half. My brother has found God and literally took a 360 change. Thank for the movie.
lordSeaworth um what? She was just explaining what she went through, it wasn’t a cry for attention. it’s rly none of your business and you have no reason to be a jerk
i’m sorry but this is timothée’s BEST performance in my opinion. having a history of drugs in my family and watching this it was pretty much spot on. i couldn’t stop crying and just thinking about this experience. this movie is so moving and even if you are just thinking about watching this i say go for it. this seems extreme but it really is the BEST movie i have ever seen.
carrell and chalumet should both have been nominated. such a beautiful heartfelt story, so relevant for today. haven't seen all the noms but this was definitely certainly more emotionally involving and touching and actors displayed more range than green book.
I can’t believe how much I’ve cried while watching this movie . I’m in awe in how well Steve and Timotheé captured this reality ... actually every single person who was part of this film . It’s not an easy story to tell . It’s not always that you finish a movie and you feel like it’s been 2 hours of your life you know you’ll never forget . I will never forget . So grateful. So so grateful .
I saw this movie 2 times, the first time it was after slipping and scoring some hydromorph from a crack house, the second time was after checking into rehab. Sometimes it was like watching me and my dad interact. Im currently 6 months clean and just hoping that I won’t go back to the bottom.
I know its been a yr ago since you posted this i praying your doing well but just know its moment by moment and when your feeling weak ask God to help you through
The Timothy boy that plays Nic did an AMAZING job!!! My family has been through this and it is so accurate! I cried and cried coz I could relate so much!
I read Tweak first, then a few years later Nics second book and then Beautiful Boy. These books were amazing and even though I have never experienced addiction and my children are too young I think this movie is about loving people unconditionally.
I watched this movie with my parents, I had watched it once before alone, but when I watched it with them I realised how much my family can relate to this movie. I’m not an addict, but I struggle with severe depression and anxiety and my psychiatrist suggests that I have autism (but i havent been diagnosed yet) so when I watched this with them I just knew all of us thought the same thing, that we were going through something very simular and that realisation just broke me.
In the movie they talk about accepting how the child or person dies long before the addiction takes them. I felt that so hard, no matter how much we fight for my big sister I almost know in my heart this is going to kill her. This is such a beautiful story and it is so well done. I am so happy to have found a movie that gets all the emotions right. Good job 💕
Timmy will definitely be awarded an oscar very soon... I am in tears by this story... now I understand addiction. this is probably what whitney houston had to go through
Amazing movie I cried . My husband died from an overdose . I can relate to what the Sheff family went through. Heartbreaking . Truly amazing that Nic is clean and sober. ❤️ So happy for him.
I'm so emotional seeing this video. We see how much everyone on set truly wants to do this film right. There's so much respect and love around Nic and David's story and past that is a blessing. I read the two books and weirdly since I care a lot about theses two men and their "day to day" life. Sharing their story seems so brave and generous and I'm grateful for that. It is nice to see them going well and talk about their relationship and about the film. The cast and crew of the film seems to be respectfully involved in it and also measure the importance of the subject and the spread of it. This is an important story, loving family, wonderful team and an ensemble that maked me feel "Everything". Thank you.
As a addict who's been in recovery for almost 20 years this movie hit me ..I was almost the same and its so crazy...its something that so many have had this story.. Bless them for making it
This movie still gets to me so much. The chord is struck was just something I wasn't ready for. My mom is Nic Sheffs dad. I wasn't into meth but did my fair share of everything and I felt so lucky to come out of it before I got in way too deep. I just sat in awe of how similar all of these situations were. The feeling of coming from a great family and wondering why I still just wanted to get high. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece, courage to share your story and honestly, therapy for many.
So powerfully well played, interpreted and filmed. A heartbreaking reality that unfortunately so many go through. I'm glad they shared this story from Nick and David Sheff. Sometimes it's healing to go through pain together, it makes us feel less alone. Even if I can't relate to this experience, I was truly touched by it, and I hope it can help those who need support. 💌
This movie almost made me loud ugly cry in the theater. Thank God I kept it under control. I imagine the whole audience triggered by the one person who couldn't hold it in. A hundred people sobbing uncontrollably in a small theater for an hour or more.
I love this. Beautiful Boy is an accurate picture of addiction. It is an illness. I applaud these people for having the courage to bring their story to light. Bravo
This is an incredible movie to show the inside mind of the person who is dealing with the disease. And the ones around them. It's not thought that Nick love his family. However the drugs created a malfunction in his mind that he behaves like he is under attack and act defensive. That is where the screaming and other defensive behavior come from. The father love his son so much but can not understand him. He can not understand his pain. The lucky ones live in the present moment. The love from his father and the support from his father is the only way out for people who suffer from this disease. This movie deserves an Oscar. Thanks you so much Nick for sharing you story and helping the rest of the world to understand better about that drugs can not only affect you body but also you mind. And it is not easy to get out without the support of you family and professional help. This is an educational movie that should be playing on schools so kids can be aware of it. This is real life . We still leave in a world that doesn't show the truth about drugs. Real life story this is what the world needs.
Woah woah woah. I didn’t even notice Timothy Hutton was in the movie. I really only know him from ordinary people, a movie that’s definitely high on my list of favorite movies. Seeing such an amazing actor who played a similar (emotional) role mentoring a generally new actor is amazing. Much love for both Timothy and Timothée. Two amazing men.
David Thaler preach!!! So upset with them in recent years. After the 2016 mess up for best movie where they said the wrong name, I’m getting more and more annoyed. They are becoming the meaningless award now. I think other awards and acknowledgment are becoming more important for incredible movies like this one.
Two stand out scenes for me from this movie; when Nic tells his dad, "This is who I am". These were the exact LAST words I heard from my ex's mouth as he walked out the door on me and our young son. I let him go for good that day and his addiction ultimately took his life. The other scene, when dad David told his son over the phone that he could not come back home, proceeds to remove his pictures from his office wall and then sits down and releases the heart wrenching pain of not enabling his son. Letting someone you love go because you cannot help them is one of the deepest cuts to the heart. It would be absolutely grueling for a parent to turn away their own child. Something I would never want to experience. Only negative about this movie is that they chose to exclude the fact that Nic prostituted himself to support his addiction and that it was to other men. That is a SIGNIFICANT fact in the world of addiction and leaving that truth out does this true story an injustice. That said, Timothee Chamamet DESERVED an Oscar!
Beautiful amazing based on the trailer alone and I can’t wait to watch this. As a recovering addict myself you captured how it truly is for a lot of addicts and that’s hard to do, you really did their story justice. So moving, it reminds me of when I was in addiction and the way I felt and how my family was who helped me through it they saved me!! My family and god are the reason I’m alive today.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen. as a substance abuse counselor I can verify that it’s 100% accurate .even so as a counselor I really struggle with the whole it’s not a choice thing. it is a choice to take that first hit. But true once you do that if you have the genetic predisposition u cannot control it
This movie Beautiful boy shocked my soul I see it differently I don't have drug addiction or never saw anyone having near me I relate to it strange way how every addiction has a pattern Mine is internet addiction and and depression anxiety disorder and a addiction of a rare kind MDD Maladaptive daydreaming disorder It's 1,2 in a Million has this disease And with all that I never had a father to love me Lost my father when I was 12 years old All that triggered me And made me cry Thank you for making this movie ❤
robbed at the oscars I know its not quite the same but god I hope he wins this bafta I just can't put into words how much he deserves it and how hard he worked
as a substance abuse counselor I can verify that it’s 100% accurate , great movie.even so as a counselor I really struggle with the whole it’s not a choice thing. it is a choice to take that first hit. But true once you do that if you have the genetic predisposition u cannot control it
This movie is EVERYTHING (like, who gets it ;)). I've watched it three times now. The scene in which they sit together in the restaurant was awesome acting by Timothee. I had to watch the end a view times and still don't know if he got contact lenses during the scene or not xD the pupils at the end were HUGE and he looked so scary and frightened, i have never seen him like that. Also the scene were he calls his dad begging for being allowed to come home- how he's manipulating, also great acting. Also, the scene were his stepmom is chasing him with the car was very intense to me... because i thought until that scene, she didn't really like him and only wanted to protect her own children, but then she showed how much she cared.
the diner scene was amazing indeed! it made me so uncomfy every time it happened to see nic flip out at his father because he was under the influence. he perfectly played more than just a simple character, he played multiple; under the influence (hiding it, being honest, different stages,..), sober, experiencing withdrawal,... so frikkin impressive
Candy is also an exceptionally great movie. If u havent seen it yet Heath Ledger is great (Indie film) Beautiful Boy looks like it's such a great truth and the actors seem perfect cant wait to see this .
We are blindsided. We are in our tenth year of hell. How can a mother feel this way about their beautiful boy. I wonder if he will ever be the person I remember. I do not know if I will ever forgive Nic.
It is a wonderful film in all ways, and it points an arrow to the black hole he has in his heart, but it never explores why that black hole is there.... and it's like the movie avoids this question... no it is not a moral failure, but there IS information about why there is a hole there! And there is a way to help people feel less lost in that hole and that is where the healing is... the movie does not want to go down that far or talk about how the HEAL the black hole that is felt by addicts.
i think the "why" reveals itself in the scene where nic asked his dad to smoke a joint together with him, and he mentioned "it takes the edge off of things... stupid everyday reality (...)". to me, that's one of the stronger hints of nic's inner world, and im guessing it's referencing the fact that he was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder. but i didn't know that fact when watching the film yet i picked up on it because i resonated with what nic says, and i think people who do understand where that "black hole" is coming from. everyone has had their lowest points and darkest phases in life. the simple answer is, i think, everyone has this black hole in them, it's just a matter of whether people grow to become conscious of it (some people remain unaware) and what we all choose to do with it, or to cope with it. ultimately, we are all slaves to something, the question is to what?
this was difficult to watch because my family went through a very similar rollercoaster ride with my oldest sister. Unfortunately my beautiful sister got lost in the world of schizophrenia brought on by years of meth.
Amazing movie!. I have a partner experiencing same thing with his 20 yrs old son and this movie came across like in the right moment for him. We were watching the movie last night and it was like a movie about his own personal life and experience. Recently, My partner's son decided to go to rehab for the third time for 90 days treatment with AA. Following an attempt to kill his own dad by chocking him in a furious and vicious argument, the neighbors called the police and he went to jail. My partner couldn't file any charges because it was his beautiful boy out of control because of alcohol and drugs in his system. So sad, how he could file any charges when he always see him as his beautiful son that he raised with all the love and who it seems to be another person now? We both cried and he felt so identified with Nic's dad because he did everything with his son exactly like in the movie. However, In my opinion Nic's family was lucky to have his son back from hell. I think they were missing something very important that I they didn't showed or mentioned in the movie or interviews: Christian family values!!! I consider it's very important for this new generation and parents are doing almost nothing about it. It's not about religion, it's about to teach our kids to have a personal connection with God at early age. I have my 11 years old son Gabriel, I go to church with him since he was 3 months old just for him to experience about God and to learn to have a real connection with Him. As a single mom, I always talk about God and Jesus with him, in addition to any other topics like drugs/alcohol abuse, internet and personal safety, etc. I think it's very important for him to know that there is a hope in Jesus, and he can relay on Him anytime, anywhere even after I died, because Jesus Crist will be always there for him. Today, I feel very proud seeing my son's faith in God growing and I am pretty sure that Jesus's amazing grace will be with him forever. My grandpa was a pastor, and my mom was the one teaching me about God and bringing me to church on Sundays when I was a kid (even if I didn't feel to) and I can't not tell you how many times I've been through bad moments and I always relayed in Jesus, and He helped me to go trough in victory. So, never give up and always teach your kids from a young age that Jesus Crist died for us to forgive our sins and that He is real and alive to listen to them whenever they need. They will not be perfect, but at least having God in their hearts will definitely make a difference in their life. I am praying for him and now my partner is leaving everything in God's hands, as I talked to him about God as well now he's having a new hope. I think for my partner, finding this movie is not a coincidence. After all my prayers, I am sure now God is in control. ;)
The real Nic Scheff was bipolar and the movie totally ignored this HUGE fact!!! Why wasn't this addressed, especially given that many suffering with undiagnosed bipolar disorder feel forced to turn to drugs to give them a break from their constant tortured mind???
Read the 1st book when I was in jail in full withdrawal and what it ment to me words can't explain even tho I never did meth I was a opiate addict but I dont think there is any possible way a movie can tell Nics story the way the book did .....didn't know this movie had come out till today I hope it does tweak justice
To be honest, I’m confused as to the reason why Nic would’ve started taking drugs. Stressors in life? Was his father really that amazing? I loved the movie. So many emotions.
Kayla Werkman if you watch multiple interviews with timothee , he explains that the why isn’t the reason . Addiction is never about the why. It is what it is.
bridie m it’s just that healing from addiction should start with the source. Confront why you’ve started the drugs before you can find a way to heal and find ways to cope healthily.
In Tweak and We All Fall Down, Nic talks about how he was diagnosed first with depression and then with bipolar disorder. Oftentimes people will turn to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate if they don't get the help they need, or even necessarily know they need.
melodymoonchild I completely forgot about Nic’s mental illnesses. I posted the comment before thinking. Self medicating is all too common among addicts, totally understand that.
yeah sorry, i mean no major incident has to happen for someone to start an addiction. sometimes it just happens, mental illness eg but yeah I 100% agree
I struggle finding empathy for addicts. I pursued drugs hard during my high school years. Put my family through hell. Then one day, at 17, I announced to my druggie friends that I could see it all clearly now. That I and we were losers, and on a path to miserable lives and early deaths. The laughter and good times were fraudulent. And I told them all I was done being a loser. I cut them all off, cold turkey. Not just the drugs, but the people I did them with. Cold turkey. They came back for me, first with a smile, chuckling, coaxing, "Funny, man. You don't really mean it. C'mon, man, the party's just beginning." Then they came angrily: "What? You're too good for us, man. Yeah, like since when!" But I was done with it, with them. If they wanted to hang with me, not just drag me down with them, then they were going to have to walk away from the lies with me. Been sober nearly fifty years. No treatment centers. No counselors. No therapists. No 12-step programs. No relapses. It's not a disease. It lingers so long because we treat it like a disease, with ineffective measures. My circle of friends? Three suicides. Another drowned in his vomit. Another died in prison. All but one in their twenties. We choose drugs. We choose our addictions. We can choose freedom. I decided from the day I walked out on my old friends and lifestyle that I was only going to choose things that are good for me. I was 17. Two years later I encountered the ultimate best for me, and said yes to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I was already free from all my physical addictions. The last freedom I needed was from my addiction to sin in thought, word and action -- addictions not of my body but of my soul. Jesus will set you free, free indeed. And you can choose Him today, right this moment. Or you can choose the endless cycle of addiction, treatment of symptoms but not real causes, and relapses. And you can star in your own version of this movie forever, without ever being set free. What we need is not behavior modification, but transformation. Jesus is able to transform you from the inside out.
I’ve been interested about the topic of addiction from earlier days learning about rockstars overdosing and lately as well … I’m from Arabia, and crystal meth is not too strange here (called Shabu locally).. cases are in the rise and there is a national anti-drug campaign that’s been recently announced… I just thank Allah that it’s made clear in Islam that getting close to anything intoxicating isn’t permissible (though alcohol isn’t strange within my circle and personal network).. having this clear limit of not coming close to alcohol is relieving and liberating… and knowing that there’s a hereafter and that life is a means to a destination afterlife gives one strength and focus, and not to waste life wondering why are we here! And it’s very disturbing to see “anyone” or any family in this world suffering from addiction the way portrayed in this movie… it’s really bad how close or far the situation is taking place in.. and realizing one’s mental disorders and finding medical and spiritual cures could save addicts and families a lot of agony
They make it seem a little easy, he had his father and mother. What about people that have nobody? I mean nobody, alone no-one to talk too 30 yrs later life still there
disappointed Timmy didn’t get the Oscar nom. this was one of his best performances, so raw and amazing
I agree 1,000 %
Who even makes these decisions
In my unpopular opinion... I was shocked he got ANY nominations. I’m in love with Timmy but this was not his best performance to get awards for.
Well, there is no doubt that Timothee is a wonderful actor. He nailed the characters of elio perlman and nic sheff. I don't think getting Oscar is everything. Losing an Oscar doesn't change the fact that Timothee is a great actor . I don't know why some people make it a big deal.
loveharrydaily although I respect your opinion this performance was a tie with cmbyn it’s truly a masterpiece.
timothée was robbed at the oscar boy should have got best supporting actor!!!
d a i s y and steve should’ve been nominated as well
@@frankersgerman3112 As you can see the oscars is not about "the best actor" and so on, rather its about which movies are in spotlight. And my thoughts drifted to the idea that its not easy to watch a film thats touching you and might burst something out of your inner depths.
Timothée nailed his role in this movie, it brought back to many memories of the struggles I had with my own son. The conversations, the worrying, the pain, the helplessness of battling addiction. Unfortunately I lost my son at 20, so I wasn't lucky enough to see my son win his battle. I would have liked to see the movie to go just I bit farther, just to give HOPE that kids can win over this terrible disease of addiction.
Sorry you didn't get nominated for an Oscar Timothee, but you are an absolute talent to be recognized!
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing
God bless you! Be strong!
Sorry for Your lost...🙏🏻! Addiction is a constant and terrible battle ... I know it... and I am also so sorry for my parents dealing this problems... most my mother because my father is sick and he don’t know much... but a little what he knows is painful for each other:((( And my mother too... she try to understand... but this is the kind of facts that we think “it will never happens in my home”... well that’s a Big, Huge Mistake... even my self, I never thought I could and would have this Problem!!!

Sorry for All this...

People can still buy and stream but this is an all important movie not just for anyone but for everyone to see and put on DVD collectors shelves along with many classic films. Please do this and thank you for making this film possible.
Have you heard of letterboxd? might be the right place for you! loved this comment.
I love your comment. It reminded me of how deeply the movie touched me, and how deeply Timothee Chalamet´s performance touched me. Just getting reminded of it makes me cry
Almost a year later and this is still such a beautiful comment. Thank you for writing it, love and respect to ya ♡
This is such a beautiful comment ❤️ Thank you for writing this^^
I wholeheartedly agree with your comment and experience. I sobbed through the whole movie and imagined how it must have been in cinemas
This film is so overwhelmingly beautiful and moving. I cannot get enough
I love this movie. I've watched it like 6 times this year.its amazing
this movie is so important!!!!! we can’t demonize addicts!!! they’re not inherently bad people, but usually people who feel like the only way out of their situation is substance abuse. they need that comfort because they’re people. not villains.
Yes I totally agree! The choice argument also demonizes addicts as well!
Steve Carrell is amazing in this film too. Everyone talking about Timothee, which is deserved, but they both put on stellar performances
Steve is also truly amazing glad someone agrees!
Nic and David Sheff man their relationship as father and son. Brings tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat. Steve and Timothee did amazing. This entire film and story is so close to me, hats off. Completely.
This film definitely made me go through emotions. It was beautiful. True to the name.
Both Steve and Timmy were robbed awards for this performance.
Timothée has blown me away in this film. So many emotions and tears. He is a true gift to us, the viewers. This story should be shown in all the schools to teach the kids what addiction can do to you and the people who love you. I have 3 daughters and I am terrified of any kind of addiction.
This movie made me cry multiple times bc my family lived through this, the movie was on point. Everyone gets hurt and worried it is crazyy. I never understood why brother went through that path, my parents are good parents but sometimes there is no reason. It got to a point where i didn't care about my brother anymore he had hurt the family multiple times, but mom was constantly anxious and worried about him. It was coool watching this film and seen the parent perspective, I understood my mom more. My brother has been sober for year and half. My brother has found God and literally took a 360 change. Thank for the movie.
Karina Romero If you liked the movie try the book- it’s amazing. Your brother is a warrior!
lol the average blast your sob story and pretend you cried for attention.
God is great! Be well
@@lordseaworth6055 stfu
lordSeaworth um what? She was just explaining what she went through, it wasn’t a cry for attention. it’s rly none of your business and you have no reason to be a jerk
Timothee’s performance made me cry! Steve was awesome, like UNREAL. This duo was insane! Timmy seriously blew me AWAY in this film.
everything timothee does is always right there on the surface which is so beautiful.
I’m in bits watching this movie, never in my life has a story/performance made me so emotionally broken.
i’m sorry but this is timothée’s BEST performance in my opinion. having a history of drugs in my family and watching this it was pretty much spot on. i couldn’t stop crying and just thinking about this experience. this movie is so moving and even if you are just thinking about watching this i say go for it. this seems extreme but it really is the BEST movie i have ever seen.
carrell and chalumet should both have been nominated. such a beautiful heartfelt story, so relevant for today. haven't seen all the noms but this was definitely certainly more emotionally involving and touching and actors displayed more range than green book.
incredible film, both Steve and Timmy are extraordinary
12 hours on TH-cam watching everything I can about TC. What a great talent. I can't wait to see this movie
I can’t believe how much I’ve cried while watching this movie . I’m in awe in how well Steve and Timotheé captured this reality ... actually every single person who was part of this film . It’s not an easy story to tell . It’s not always that you finish a movie and you feel like it’s been 2 hours of your life you know you’ll never forget . I will never forget . So grateful. So so grateful .
I just need to meet this young talented man. I am so proud of Timothée, so proud
Nic is an impressive person. Had the pleasure of meeting him in person in Dallas and was so impressed with his honesty and courage. Everything
I saw this movie 2 times, the first time it was after slipping and scoring some hydromorph from a crack house, the second time was after checking into rehab. Sometimes it was like watching me and my dad interact. Im currently 6 months clean and just hoping that I won’t go back to the bottom.
Im so proud of you, even tho 5 seconds ago i didnt know you existed. Remember you are loved.
Proud of you bro!
and if you ever feel like u need someone to listen to you or you want to talk to, i can do that. i promise
Stay strong
I know its been a yr ago since you posted this i praying your doing well but just know its moment by moment and when your feeling weak ask God to help you through
The Timothy boy that plays Nic did an AMAZING job!!! My family has been through this and it is so accurate! I cried and cried coz I could relate so much!
I read Tweak first, then a few years later Nics second book and then Beautiful Boy. These books were amazing and even though I have never experienced addiction and my children are too young I think this movie is about loving people unconditionally.
I think the book was even better than film. It went deeper...
this is one of timothees most phenomenal performances
Timothee was AMAZING in this film! His best performance to date, he definitely should have received an Oscar nomination, even an Oscar win! 🥰🥰🥰
I watched this movie with my parents, I had watched it once before alone, but when I watched it with them I realised how much my family can relate to this movie. I’m not an addict, but I struggle with severe depression and anxiety and my psychiatrist suggests that I have autism (but i havent been diagnosed yet) so when I watched this with them I just knew all of us thought the same thing, that we were going through something very simular and that realisation just broke me.
In the movie they talk about accepting how the child or person dies long before the addiction takes them. I felt that so hard, no matter how much we fight for my big sister I almost know in my heart this is going to kill her. This is such a beautiful story and it is so well done. I am so happy to have found a movie that gets all the emotions right. Good job 💕
Please don’t give up on her
Lovely seeing Father and Son together after what they gone through. Poor Timmy should have won a Oscar for his stunning performance.
Timmy will definitely be awarded an oscar very soon... I am in tears by this story... now I understand addiction. this is probably what whitney houston had to go through
As a recovering addict myself this story is important to me because I had no idea how it affected my family when I was in active addiction.
Amazing movie I cried . My husband died from an overdose . I can relate to what the Sheff family went through. Heartbreaking . Truly amazing that Nic is clean and sober. ❤️ So happy for him.
im so sorry about your husband, that must've been very difficult. hope you are doing better
Same here i hope you're doing okay im so sorry💜
@@mar617 I am ok thanks so much
This movie does a stellar job showing the true bond between father and son.
I'm so emotional seeing this video.
We see how much everyone on set truly wants to do this film right. There's so much respect and love around Nic and David's story and past that is a blessing. I read the two books and weirdly since I care a lot about theses two men and their "day to day" life. Sharing their story seems so brave and generous and I'm grateful for that. It is nice to see them going well and talk about their relationship and about the film.
The cast and crew of the film seems to be respectfully involved in it and also measure the importance of the subject and the spread of it.
This is an important story, loving family, wonderful team and an ensemble that maked me feel "Everything". Thank you.
As a addict who's been in recovery for almost 20 years this movie hit me ..I was almost the same and its so crazy...its something that so many have had this story.. Bless them for making it
an incredible story transferred beautifully to film. from actors to writers to the real life people - loved it.
So close to home. I feel you. Our son passed at 32. No more pain.
This movie still gets to me so much. The chord is struck was just something I wasn't ready for. My mom is Nic Sheffs dad. I wasn't into meth but did my fair share of everything and I felt so lucky to come out of it before I got in way too deep. I just sat in awe of how similar all of these situations were. The feeling of coming from a great family and wondering why I still just wanted to get high. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece, courage to share your story and honestly, therapy for many.
One of the best films I’ve ever seen. Timothee you are a wonderful actor! (And very cute too!)
So powerfully well played, interpreted and filmed. A heartbreaking reality that unfortunately so many go through. I'm glad they shared this story from Nick and David Sheff. Sometimes it's healing to go through pain together, it makes us feel less alone. Even if I can't relate to this experience, I was truly touched by it, and I hope it can help those who need support. 💌
This movie almost made me loud ugly cry in the theater. Thank God I kept it under control. I imagine the whole audience triggered by the one person who couldn't hold it in. A hundred people sobbing uncontrollably in a small theater for an hour or more.
I love this. Beautiful Boy is an accurate picture of addiction. It is an illness. I applaud these people for having the courage to bring their story to light. Bravo
This is an incredible movie to show the inside mind of the person who is dealing with the disease. And the ones around them. It's not thought that Nick love his family. However the drugs created a malfunction in his mind that he behaves like he is under attack and act defensive. That is where the screaming and other defensive behavior come from. The father love his son so much but can not understand him. He can not understand his pain. The lucky ones live in the present moment. The love from his father and the support from his father is the only way out for people who suffer from this disease. This movie deserves an Oscar. Thanks you so much Nick for sharing you story and helping the rest of the world to understand better about that drugs can not only affect you body but also you mind. And it is not easy to get out without the support of you family and professional help. This is an educational movie that should be playing on schools so kids can be aware of it. This is real life . We still leave in a world that doesn't show the truth about drugs. Real life story this is what the world needs.
Woah woah woah. I didn’t even notice Timothy Hutton was in the movie. I really only know him from ordinary people, a movie that’s definitely high on my list of favorite movies. Seeing such an amazing actor who played a similar (emotional) role mentoring a generally new actor is amazing. Much love for both Timothy and Timothée. Two amazing men.
Such a beautiful, moving film
Dude....YOU. WERE. ROBBED!!!!
The Academy can suck it!!!!
David Thaler preach!!! So upset with them in recent years. After the 2016 mess up for best movie where they said the wrong name, I’m getting more and more annoyed. They are becoming the meaningless award now. I think other awards and acknowledgment are becoming more important for incredible movies like this one.
Two stand out scenes for me from this movie; when Nic tells his dad, "This is who I am". These were the exact LAST words I heard from my ex's mouth as he walked out the door on me and our young son. I let him go for good that day and his addiction ultimately took his life.
The other scene, when dad David told his son over the phone that he could not come back home, proceeds to remove his pictures from his office wall and then sits down and releases the heart wrenching pain of not enabling his son.
Letting someone you love go because you cannot help them is one of the deepest cuts to the heart. It would be absolutely grueling for a parent to turn away their own child. Something I would never want to experience.
Only negative about this movie is that they chose to exclude the fact that Nic prostituted himself to support his addiction and that it was to other men. That is a SIGNIFICANT fact in the world of addiction and leaving that truth out does this true story an injustice.
That said, Timothee Chamamet DESERVED an Oscar!
This movie is beautiful, I can tell how much effort they put on this, Timothée is so grounded
This movie is so special.
Beautiful amazing based on the trailer alone and I can’t wait to watch this. As a recovering addict myself you captured how it truly is for a lot of addicts and that’s hard to do, you really did their story justice. So moving, it reminds me of when I was in addiction and the way I felt and how my family was who helped me through it they saved me!! My family and god are the reason I’m alive today.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen. as a substance abuse counselor I can verify that it’s 100% accurate .even so as a counselor I really struggle with the whole it’s not a choice thing. it is a choice to take that first hit. But true once you do that if you have the genetic predisposition u cannot control it
This movie Beautiful boy shocked my soul
I see it differently
I don't have drug addiction or never saw anyone having near me
I relate to it strange way
how every addiction has a pattern
Mine is internet addiction and and depression anxiety disorder and a addiction of a rare kind MDD
Maladaptive daydreaming disorder
It's 1,2 in a Million has this disease
And with all that I never had a father to love me
Lost my father when I was 12 years old
All that triggered me
And made me cry
Thank you for making this movie ❤
Goosebumps on 'Everything'!!!
Amazing....Love Timothee and can't wait to watch the movie. Have put off seeing it because I did not know if it would be do emotional for me to watch.
robbed at the oscars I know its not quite the same but god I hope he wins this bafta I just can't put into words how much he deserves it and how hard he worked
Great film and a wonderful story thank you for this kind of movie you story are inspir
Much of love 😍😘
Thank you timothee chalamet
Thank you Amazon

This movie is EVERYTHING (like, who gets it ;)). I've watched it three times now. The scene in which they sit together in the restaurant was awesome acting by Timothee. I had to watch the end a view times and still don't know if he got contact lenses during the scene or not xD the pupils at the end were HUGE and he looked so scary and frightened, i have never seen him like that. Also the scene were he calls his dad begging for being allowed to come home- how he's manipulating, also great acting. Also, the scene were his stepmom is chasing him with the car was very intense to me... because i thought until that scene, she didn't really like him and only wanted to protect her own children, but then she showed how much she cared.
the diner scene was amazing indeed! it made me so uncomfy every time it happened to see nic flip out at his father because he was under the influence. he perfectly played more than just a simple character, he played multiple; under the influence (hiding it, being honest, different stages,..), sober, experiencing withdrawal,... so frikkin impressive
Amazing movie, amazing acting, just everything.
Candy is also an exceptionally great movie. If u havent seen it yet Heath Ledger is great (Indie film) Beautiful Boy looks like it's such a great truth and the actors seem perfect cant wait to see this .
We are blindsided. We are in our tenth year of hell. How can a mother feel this way about their beautiful boy.
I wonder if he will ever be the person I remember. I do not know if I will ever forgive Nic.
This looks like a beautiful role for Steve Carell. What a powerful film. I need to see it
This reminded me so much of Candy but in a whole different perspective seeing it from a parents point of view
Great actors, amazing soundtrack and what a deep story ❤️🩹
the most heartbreaking movie it’s much more upsetting because it’s a true story
i watched the film then immediately bought beautiful boy and tweak; beautiful books and a beautiful film.
very beautiful movie very touching Timothee is outstanding all the actors were absolutely amazing
THank you so much for sharing your story of love, compassion and healing.
Thank you Amazon Studios. This is an amazing video
It is a wonderful film in all ways, and it points an arrow to the black hole he has in his heart, but it never explores why that black hole is there.... and it's like the movie avoids this question... no it is not a moral failure, but there IS information about why there is a hole there! And there is a way to help people feel less lost in that hole and that is where the healing is... the movie does not want to go down that far or talk about how the HEAL the black hole that is felt by addicts.
i think the "why" reveals itself in the scene where nic asked his dad to smoke a joint together with him, and he mentioned "it takes the edge off of things... stupid everyday reality (...)". to me, that's one of the stronger hints of nic's inner world, and im guessing it's referencing the fact that he was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder. but i didn't know that fact when watching the film yet i picked up on it because i resonated with what nic says, and i think people who do understand where that "black hole" is coming from. everyone has had their lowest points and darkest phases in life. the simple answer is, i think, everyone has this black hole in them, it's just a matter of whether people grow to become conscious of it (some people remain unaware) and what we all choose to do with it, or to cope with it. ultimately, we are all slaves to something, the question is to what?
WHERES THE OSCAR NOMINATION????
this was difficult to watch because my family went through a very similar rollercoaster ride with my oldest sister. Unfortunately my beautiful sister got lost in the world of schizophrenia brought on by years of meth.
I love this movie. Timothe👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Timothee bello!!
Amazing movie!. I have a partner experiencing same thing with his 20 yrs old son and this movie came across like in the right moment for him. We were watching the movie last night and it was like a movie about his own personal life and experience. Recently, My partner's son decided to go to rehab for the third time for 90 days treatment with AA. Following an attempt to kill his own dad by chocking him in a furious and vicious argument, the neighbors called the police and he went to jail. My partner couldn't file any charges because it was his beautiful boy out of control because of alcohol and drugs in his system. So sad, how he could file any charges when he always see him as his beautiful son that he raised with all the love and who it seems to be another person now? We both cried and he felt so identified with Nic's dad because he did everything with his son exactly like in the movie. However, In my opinion Nic's family was lucky to have his son back from hell. I think they were missing something very important that I they didn't showed or mentioned in the movie or interviews: Christian family values!!! I consider it's very important for this new generation and parents are doing almost nothing about it. It's not about religion, it's about to teach our kids to have a personal connection with God at early age. I have my 11 years old son Gabriel, I go to church with him since he was 3 months old just for him to experience about God and to learn to have a real connection with Him. As a single mom, I always talk about God and Jesus with him, in addition to any other topics like drugs/alcohol abuse, internet and personal safety, etc. I think it's very important for him to know that there is a hope in Jesus, and he can relay on Him anytime, anywhere even after I died, because Jesus Crist will be always there for him. Today, I feel very proud seeing my son's faith in God growing and I am pretty sure that Jesus's amazing grace will be with him forever. My grandpa was a pastor, and my mom was the one teaching me about God and bringing me to church on Sundays when I was a kid (even if I didn't feel to) and I can't not tell you how many times I've been through bad moments and I always relayed in Jesus, and He helped me to go trough in victory. So, never give up and always teach your kids from a young age that Jesus Crist died for us to forgive our sins and that He is real and alive to listen to them whenever they need. They will not be perfect, but at least having God in their hearts will definitely make a difference in their life. I am praying for him and now my partner is leaving everything in God's hands, as I talked to him about God as well now he's having a new hope. I think for my partner, finding this movie is not a coincidence. After all my prayers, I am sure now God is in control. ;)
The fact that Timothy didn't get any Oscar for his incredible performance and Steve didn't even get a nomination simply fucks my mind.
Thank you for your story. This story is inspiring
The real Nic Scheff was bipolar and the movie totally ignored this HUGE fact!!! Why wasn't this addressed, especially given that many suffering with undiagnosed bipolar disorder feel forced to turn to drugs to give them a break from their constant tortured mind???
Excellent film. ☕
This is just so wonderful thank u
I liked that positive stuff was shown.
Timmy will definitely be awarded an oscar very soon
a fucking great movie. Carell and Chalamet is everything 🙌
I can't even imagine life like this. I'm attracted to madness too and I'm lucky that somehow I managed don't fall so far.
I"m not crying you are
Beautiful movie.
So good !!! Love it
Watching this made me feel so happy. :)❤️
Read the 1st book when I was in jail in full withdrawal and what it ment to me words can't explain even tho I never did meth I was a opiate addict but I dont think there is any possible way a movie can tell Nics story the way the book did .....didn't know this movie had come out till today I hope it does tweak justice
Hope you are doing better. Have you had a chance to watch the movie. I would be interested in what you think of it x
Timothee is just so brilliant ❤💜💛🖤💙💚💙💖💕💞💘💝💓💗💟
Great film
I would love to read the books.
To be honest, I’m confused as to the reason why Nic would’ve started taking drugs. Stressors in life? Was his father really that amazing?
I loved the movie. So many emotions.
Kayla Werkman if you watch multiple interviews with timothee , he explains that the why isn’t the reason . Addiction is never about the why. It is what it is.
bridie m it’s just that healing from addiction should start with the source. Confront why you’ve started the drugs before you can find a way to heal and find ways to cope healthily.
In Tweak and We All Fall Down, Nic talks about how he was diagnosed first with depression and then with bipolar disorder. Oftentimes people will turn to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate if they don't get the help they need, or even necessarily know they need.
melodymoonchild I completely forgot about Nic’s mental illnesses. I posted the comment before thinking. Self medicating is all too common among addicts, totally understand that.
yeah sorry, i mean no major incident has to happen for someone to start an addiction. sometimes it just happens, mental illness eg but yeah I 100% agree
what a great talent !
I struggle finding empathy for addicts. I pursued drugs hard during my high school years. Put my family through hell. Then one day, at 17, I announced to my druggie friends that I could see it all clearly now. That I and we were losers, and on a path to miserable lives and early deaths. The laughter and good times were fraudulent. And I told them all I was done being a loser. I cut them all off, cold turkey. Not just the drugs, but the people I did them with. Cold turkey. They came back for me, first with a smile, chuckling, coaxing, "Funny, man. You don't really mean it. C'mon, man, the party's just beginning." Then they came angrily: "What? You're too good for us, man. Yeah, like since when!" But I was done with it, with them. If they wanted to hang with me, not just drag me down with them, then they were going to have to walk away from the lies with me. Been sober nearly fifty years. No treatment centers. No counselors. No therapists. No 12-step programs. No relapses. It's not a disease. It lingers so long because we treat it like a disease, with ineffective measures. My circle of friends? Three suicides. Another drowned in his vomit. Another died in prison. All but one in their twenties. We choose drugs. We choose our addictions. We can choose freedom. I decided from the day I walked out on my old friends and lifestyle that I was only going to choose things that are good for me. I was 17. Two years later I encountered the ultimate best for me, and said yes to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I was already free from all my physical addictions. The last freedom I needed was from my addiction to sin in thought, word and action -- addictions not of my body but of my soul. Jesus will set you free, free indeed. And you can choose Him today, right this moment. Or you can choose the endless cycle of addiction, treatment of symptoms but not real causes, and relapses. And you can star in your own version of this movie forever, without ever being set free. What we need is not behavior modification, but transformation. Jesus is able to transform you from the inside out.
I’ve been interested about the topic of addiction from earlier days learning about rockstars overdosing and lately as well … I’m from Arabia, and crystal meth is not too strange here (called Shabu locally).. cases are in the rise and there is a national anti-drug campaign that’s been recently announced…
I just thank Allah that it’s made clear in Islam that getting close to anything intoxicating isn’t permissible (though alcohol isn’t strange within my circle and personal network).. having this clear limit of not coming close to alcohol is relieving and liberating… and knowing that there’s a hereafter and that life is a means to a destination afterlife gives one strength and focus, and not to waste life wondering why are we here!
And it’s very disturbing to see “anyone” or any family in this world suffering from addiction the way portrayed in this movie… it’s really bad how close or far the situation is taking place in.. and realizing one’s mental disorders and finding medical and spiritual cures could save addicts and families a lot of agony
The son can't even look his dad in the eyes in this interview. He was using.
So import good amazing movie❤❤
They make it seem a little easy, he had his father and mother. What about people that have nobody? I mean nobody, alone no-one to talk too 30 yrs later life still there
