BORDERLINES FILM FESTIVAL
Director: Felix Van Groeningen
Starring: Timothée Chalamet, Steve Carell, Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan
US, 2018
Steve Carell is David Sheff, a successful journalist and proud father. A relaxed, affectionate and communicative dad, he is not alarmed when teenage son Nic, played by Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name), begins experimenting with marijuana, less so when this leads to a consuming addiction to crystal meth. As Nic transforms from his father’s ‘beautiful boy’ into an unhappy and chaotic addict, their relationship is challenged to its core.
Adapted from two separate memoirs by David and Nic Sheff, the dual viewpoint enriches our sense of the film’s authenticity while Carell and Chalamet generate painful vulnerability and an entirely believable father-son chemistry.
Cert: 15
Running time: 2hrs
