From the beginning I have to say that I was not prepared for how gut wrenching this film was going to be and how the focus of the film would be so varied and how it was able to focus on all aspects of addiction (i.e.; the addict, the friends, the family, significant other) would literally blow me away! This film did all of that and I sat in silence weeping at the end of this film.
Steve Carell gives the performance of his career as the father of 18-year-old, Nic Sheff, portrayed brilliantly and hearbreakingly by the wonderful young actor, Timothée Chalamet. The story is about Nic's steady downward spiral into alcohol and meth addiction and the toll it takes on his family, his friends and the beautiful young girl he falls in love with while attending college. This film realistically portrays how addiction effects everyone involved and the toll it takes on them, not just the addict.
I highly recommend this film to everyone! It is a rough film to watch and will break your heart. There is not a false performance in this entire film. Your life will be changed forever after viewing this incredible film!
