As someone who risked trust with my family after doing heinous things such as stealing money from them to buy more drugs, lying about my whereabouts or wellbeing, this movie touches a part of me that no other does. Addiction is something you cannot fathom until you fully experience just how terrible it can get. It has a type of grasp that walks with you everyday no matter what, and will never cease to exist. Seeing the relationship being built up with Nic and his father just to be broken down was exactly what happened with me. Such a beautiful film. EDIT: I went to rehab April 17th and got out may 17th. I relapsed. Came back to watch this amazing review and feel that level of comfortability with nick's situation. The scene of him looking his family in the rear view mirror, with that look in his eye.. that really hits home. It's such a draining and terrorizing thing having to hide these aspects of addiction; especially when/if you relapse or lapse. I am not sure if rehab is the right thing for me again or not, but will start over tomorrow, one day at a time. Again, I want to reiterate the breaking and rebuilding of trust between Nick and his father. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, and although self inflicted, feels hopeless at times. It's as if those you love are reaching out to you, trying to save you from drowning, and you simply dont grab their hand. I would not wish this disease on anyone. Hope yall are good. Much love

I disagree that your addiction “will never cease to exist”. That’s not been true for me at all. You can reach a place where u no longer want to get high, but only when your straight life has more to offer than your addiction gives you. That’s the secret. How u get there is your own journey, but you will not have to carry shame and cravings around with you forever. Best.

I have one quibble. An oh-so-common misunderstanding: it's true that once an addict, always an addict. It is NOT true that you will always have the cravings. They can be eliminated utterly. You can get to a state where the idea of powerlessness and obsession for drugs becomes like a distant joke. You have to keep treating it for the rest of your life, but those hard days of "white knuckling" are gone completely. It's a hard concept to grasp until you get there.

Not cocaine, but mine was methamphetamine. For me, the easiest way I can explain it: My cravings, thereby fantasizing about the high, dreaming about snorting it, etc. has passed. When I sit myself down and think about meth, I have absolutely no incentive to actively seek the drug out. The worst has passed. However, despite actively avoiding meth addicts, if I were to unexpectedly walk into a situation and someone offered me methamphetamine, I can guarantee I'll probably partake. I've only been sobre 15 months, but I feel like self-awareness in the context of circumstancial self-control can make a massive difference in sustaining your sobriety

I cried multiple times during the movie. It was so well done. I felt the family love but I also understood his loneliness and isolation from it all and why drugs allowed him to turn it all off. It was ground shifting for me. I know an addict and it makes me look at her with much more empathy. What’s so difficult though is drawing the line in the sand where your love for the person becomes so consuming because they can’t change. I’m still trying to figure that out.

I'm happy to hear that your view of this person you know changed. I hope the film does more of that, and that we see more of that. Between resources being scarce or even non-existent in many places and the perception that addiction is a character flaw instead of a disease, many addicts just don't end up getting help - even if they want it and are trying to get it. Which is where the line might be drawn - a friend recently cut me out of her life because of my own addiction, and it was one of several things that really got through to me and made me want to seek out real help. It took awhile to find one near me, but I check into rehab tomorrow, fingers crossed. You can be there for this person you know and provide support in whatever way you deem suitable, but it is up to her to ultimately take the first step. If you feel comfortable with it, this point might be worth discussing with your acquaintance.

This movie was hard for me to watch. My Dad was an alcoholic and I was addicted to pills and various other drugs for 10 years. I made it, my Dad didnt. He died when we was only 49. These kinds of movies never really seem to show what it's truly like for some of us after getting clean. You feel an emptiness inside you that can't be filled with anything other than the 1 thing you cant/shouldn't do. Trying to overcome that emptiness and the feeling of being lost in a world you feel like a stranger in is daunting. That one thing that made us feel as if we could conquer any issue ahead of you is gone. And the constant thoughts of not belonging it's easy to see why so many dont make it.

Addicted to cocaine since I was 17 I’m 23 my whole life has spiraled I was one of those people saying “not me, I could never be an addict “ sure enough the devil had already grabbed a hold of me !

Movies are nice, but most people become addicts through a process, and that process starts with childhood trauma, abuse, or neglect. So saying there is no fault on behalf of a family is rare. Also, when addicts don't seek help from the family, it is not always due to shame. More often, there is no trust established between parent and child bc of a dysfunctional childhood. From experience, parents are great at revisionist history and are in denial about being part of the problem. They won't even participate in therapy to help. It would mean they actually may have someone hold them accountable.

A lot of this rings really true. My dad was a meth user for 10 years, and I thought that's when his issues started. But he'd been smoking, drinking, and engaging in self-harm since he was around 12, because the family wouldn't acknowledge that he was molested by another member of the family, along with other issues. When looking at old photos I would ask why my dad looked so somber at a young age and my uncle and grandmother looked happy and he would say, "Well I was just there with your grandma and her son. I wasn't part of the family." I think this really speaks to your point about not seeking help from family. He had no reason to think that he would be able to rely on the family for what he needed at his lowest points and it's heartbreaking.

Loved this. I had only seen this movie once and this was a wonderful recap of all the emotions I felt while watching

Kinda broke me. Life is so precious. With out a purpose, without drive to improve and want greatness for your self and maybe others around you its easy to just fall into any addiction. Relapsing is the worst.

as someone who's been sober for a little over 4 years, closer to my 30's, you really made me buy a few books and take some time to watch this. Thank you, for that. This really felt like a representation of what happens, to addicts and all involved. I'm going to AA as of last week, but before that never even thought i needed the help. What sold me was the "being home isn't home" segment. Brings you back to your nostalgia of times where getting messed up was the only thing to do.

This film was amazing, the fact that both of my favorite actors were in a film together, filming scenes down the street from my house... BLOWS MY MIND!!!

I was a heroin/benzo addict in my early-mid 20s. I sobbed watching this movie. I’ve never related to a movie so much in a really painful way.

I'm here to tell you all, I'm 8 years sober. I don't go to the meetings. I don't "work the steps" or do any of that. I changed EVERYTHING. My entire life. I still live two streets over from where I got high. I'm sick of people just constantly saying, "This is the only way you'll stay sober, or you'll never be truly happy." There are MANY ways to get sober. Imo, it's all about MINDSET and discipline. Motivation is great, but discipline is what really matters. It also comes down to if you are ready to take all the hits when you go thru the withdrawal process and cravings. But you CAN do it! Don't ever give up!! ❤❤

ANYONE AND EVERYONE ADDICTED TO ANYTHING please reach out... and dont stop reaching until someone grabs your hand and pulls you up. Please dont think youre alone because you aren't. We all feel the things normal people feel but we tend to keep it with us where others just get on with life... anyway none of that matters only you do. its hard to keep reaching when it seems youre alone but just believe me when i say less than an inch away there is that hand to grab.. you just gotta never fully give up. as a drug addict and someone on his way to an alchol addiction i know how bad it gets but believe me when i say you are not alone.

Would love to see you do more in your free time as you're able! Keep up the great work!

You did an amazing job of explaining/touching on the details of what made this movie so compelling. I definitely will be reading this book ASAP now that I’ve picked back up reading. Wonderful job! I really enjoyed the movie for so many subtleties I couldn’t even grasp to explain to others when recommending it. despite it being about addiction of drugs I think they helped make it understandable for all to empathize with and connect to directly. definitely has helped me a lot along my journey and I had gone into it pretty blind of what it was about just love Steve sm and wanted to see him in a serious role.

Thank you for reminding me of this movie. I watched it a few years ago and forgot how much of a masterpiece it is. I just re-watched it, and I've gotta say it is a really hard watch. Seeing Nic go through all that stuff and repeatedly make bad decisions was really tough. Overall though Beautiful Boy is an outstanding movie from it's acting, its soundtrack and mesmerizing atmosphere. This video was great, thank you.

I suppose so, but even the books don't give much attention to that relationship, besides briefly mentioning the abusive relationship between Nic's mom and his step dad, and it's used only to further show why Nic felt safer in sf with his dad, and also why he was so much closer to him. They for sure could have integrated some of that into the film, but I understand why they left all that stuff out.

I couldn’t even stop crying the entire time I watched this movie. It’s crazy cause I watched it in 2018 in rehab, we watched it in the movie theater. This was before my addiction had gotten all that bad. The movie seemed ok and kind of boring. Then I watched it this past February (2024) at my 11th rehab, after my addiction got 100 times worse, much worse than that shown in this movie. I was literally sobbing all the way through. Even thinking about it rn makes me start crying. It shows me how my family felt these past years throughout my addiction, and it rips me to pieces to watch my story enfold in front of me on the TV. Its like someones been watching my life and made a movie about me with some details changed. (For me it’s rock/fet and obv I’m not a guy.) But it’s an incredible film. Its crazy how different the experience of watching is if you haven’t experienced these things, vs when u have.

Great video Renny. I am for sure a new sub.

I think it is pretty spot on man. You can already see where the story goes from here. He repeats this cycle a few more times and then there comes a moment where he has an intense feeling of dread because he "got too fucked up or something and had to lay down". At that moment he either makes the decision to finally take it as serious as life and death and goes on to save his own life, or he decides to give up... He brushes it off and keeps repeating the cycle until one day he is feeling extremely weak, tired and he just feels "funny". So he goes into the bathroom to splash some water on his face. He starts feeling a little faint, a bit of vertigo, and just too weak to make it to the faucet.... That's when he dies.

@@selenagriffin4360 I appreciate it, I just thought the movie ended on the scene where him and his dad were sitting on the bench. I just know how the horror story goes from there, cause I've been there already, Actually it works like this for pretty much every heavy alcoholic or hard user. Its just the inevitable ending to this story, the story has already been told millions of times, its as old time. A father worried about his son like this and the moment of them two sitting on the bench like that and all of the context behind it just sums up everything. Every single young drug user or alcoholic with a supportive but out of his element father has been on that bench, or has come to that life and death crossroad. At that point it is pretty much 50/50. You either realize that your father cant help you with this, and you have to save your own life, or you die. If you take the wrong path and don't decide to save your own life, then you always get to the moment where you suddenly get sick or weak and you realize you are probably about to die. Your thoughts are usually how your life ended up being worth almost nothing, and your last memory is a feeling of intense regret when your realize that your father is going to walk in on your soon to be dead corpse. I know this and any heroin addict, meth addict, heavy pill taker, alcoholic... Every drug user will know this story if they stay in long enough.. All I would have needed to see was them 2 sitting on the bench and I would have known it was going to go one of two ways. Its as old as time, that's the horror show. I didn't have to see the rest of the story to know. Luckily they were nice in this movie because in real life what usually happens is dad comes in and finds his sons rotting dead corpse. At that point the father pretty much dies himself its barely possible to cope with that type of shit. That is the REAL horror show o alcoholism and drug abuse that is the end game. Everyone who survived knows it.

My dad showed me and my brothers this movie a couple of years ago. He prefaced it by telling us that it reminded him of his relationship with his daughter (our half sister) in her teens.

My mom got back into drugs when fentanyl came into the drug scene back in 2017/2018 but got really hooked back in 2019 when my parents divorced. She was also addicted to meth, heroin and many more drugs. I think the depiction of heroin in this movie was accurate, growing up my dad was always at work and was only home so long in the day so my mom was always on something while he was gone. The portrayal of meth wasn’t very accurate in my opinion though; Nik would’ve been literally insane after a month of using meth. He would need to be on anti-psychotics. I know that because my mom had to go on anti-psychotics after trying to kill me and trying to get clean for one of her many times trying to get clean. My mom’s a year and nearly 2 months clean 🎉.

If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time tripping about it. The more you trip the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subtripscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it. When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "tripping mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by tripscious effort or trip power. A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond. All sorts of dreams are possible. The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" tripxperience and an tripxperience imagined vividly and in detail. Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds. A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.

This unironically can help with the romanticization of the drugs, ever since I've been dosing LSD and Magic Mushrooms, I look at drugs as what they are instead of the essence of happiness. It's odd how this chemical/"drug" can help people overcome other drugs. Take a look at the founder of AA, he USED acid and he didn't drink again after that. Psychedelics also helped a great deal of my suicidal ideation, however, not my suicidal thoughts, just romanticization of suicide. No wonder the CIA used LSD in MK-ULTRA for brainwashing, because you are actually washing your brain.

Just to point out - addiction shouldn’t be summed up as one that is “hell bent on destroying one’s self” as I can assure you, nobody enters the world of taking a drug with that goal. The path addiction takes may very well lead down that road, but the using of a substance gives the user a chance and sense of control and relief that more often than not isn’t present in our lives.

While at first the narrative of this video starts feeling like you're a bit insecure and unsure how to confidently push forward your analysis, you continue to narrate very valid and powerful insights. My only criticism is that you obviously have thought about it. Show that passion in your voice. Loved it.

Well why do you say that? What made you think about that? Watch the clip again if you need to but let me know why you said that. I study psychology and I want to know where your mind is at so I can learn how to fix it
