The story of a child star attempting to mend his relationship with his law-breaking, alcohol-abusing father over the course of a decade, loosely based on Shia LaBeoufs life.

My review · Reviewed 11/25/2022

This is a different kind of movie in that it is a portrayal of Shia LeBeouf's relationship with his father and his life as a child actor. It isn't always an easy watch. I don't know if it would have worked quite as well if LeBeof hadn't been playing the role of his father. I had no idea that he could act on that level. I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster that he must have been on while making it. The movie is very well done.
