Disclaimer: I'm a huge Shia fan, and I couldn't wait to see this.

Honey Boy is a fictionalized (?) account, written by Shia LeBeouf about his father, and substance issues. The film bounces back and forth between Otis (Shia) as a child, then as an adult in a rehabilitation facility. It always makes for an interesting film, IF it's well done. In this case, it worked. Shia plays his own father (or a fictionalized version), and it was a great performance. I can imagine playing his father was a cathartic experience.

It's also worth mention FKA Twigs, who played a minor character. While she wasn't in it much, I thought she did well, and I wouldn't mind seeing her in more films.
