10 Movie and TV Picks for October3 of 10
Beautiful Boy | In U.S. theaters on Friday, Oct. 12
How do I motivate myself to see a film that's probably going to leave me emotionally drained and sobbing in my seat? In the case of Beautiful Boy, I think about the acting chops of Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) and Timothée Chalamet (Call Me by Your Name). I think about the source material: powerful memoirs written by father and son David and Nic Sheff. And I think about the people I know and love whose lives have been affected by addiction, and how important it has become to engage in dialogue. If a movie can promote that conversation while telling a great story, what other motivation do I need? — James G.
