The movie feels very raw. LaBeouf's voice is very unfiltered through this movie... You can tell that he's working through things as he writes the movie.

...a very personal and painful statement from LaBeouf and it's to Har'el's credit that she gives it some context and focus, as well as extracting wonderful performances from all the actors...

Honey Boy, despite its heavy subject, is a deeply empathetic and generous drama that strikes at the heart of complex parent-child relationships and inherited trauma.

Honey Boy is a tremendously personal and sublime story that turns pain and guilt into something productive.
