Honey Boy - Reviews

...a bold and open examination of who he is, what happened to him as a child actor, and the damage built into the relationship with his father.

The performance is so good, so in-the-trenches, it feels like it's an act of channeling rather than mimicry or even imitation.

...disarmingly raw and honest.

...a fluent, heartfelt, tightly structured and well acted personal story...

...has crafted LaBeouf’s life story into something poetic and often heartbreaking.

“Honey Boy” is a fascinating psychological deep dive. And it’s really messed up.

With this drama, LaBeouf has created performance art so daring, shocking, and heartrending that you won't be able to forget it.

...a powerful, emotional exploration of a dysfunctional relationship between a father and son.

...a sad, surprising, frequently touching and incredibly personal insight into LaBeouf’s accelerated youth.

Shia LaBeouf glänser i rollen som sin egen far i filmen om sig själv.

Shia LaBeouf er som altid en fornøjelse at se udfolde sig på lærredet. Selvom rollen som James angiveligt har gjort ondt at tage på sig, lader han os det ikke mærke. Han er som altid en umådelig professionel skuespiller.

Det er sjæleransagende selvterapi af bedste skuffe, når LaBeouf sætter sig 100 procent ind i sin fars sted og prøver at forstå hans handlinger.

...en hudlös, gripande film som i scenerna mellan unga Otis och hans pappa sprakar av den labila energi som är något av LaBeoufs signum.

...Shia LaBeouf viser sig at være en moden fortolker af sit eget liv, og Honey Boy er medrivende selvbekendelse mere end et selvforsvar.
