Not bad, not great. Felt very much like the Beautiful Boy movie, its almost a shame they both came out so closer after each other, hard not to compare and it really depends on which one you saw first. Also hard to believe it was written by the same guy who wrote the magnificent Whats Eating Gilbers Grape. Ben is back felt a bit bland, similar to Boy Erased - topical yet bland.
but just like Boy Erased, it had very good acting, Lucas Hodges delivers as always, he is just as believable playing a timid gay guy as he is playing a hardened dealer/addict. Julia Roberts great as always.
Anyone saw it or planning to see it? I think its especially touching/interesting if you have experience struggling with drugs/have friends/relatives who struggle. Feels quite real.
7/10 from me.
