HONEY BOY WAS GREAT
I CRIED SO MUCH
SHIA WAS GREAT
THAT GINGER WHO'S DAD IS FAMOUS WAS GREAT
THAT CHILD ACTOR WAS AMAZING

I really got into the making of Honey Boy after it was snubbed at the oscars. The director is a friend of Shia's who's also been in therapy/support groups for survivors of abuse. Shia started sending her the letters and script that his therapist makes him write in the movie. The director told him to keep doing the work and sending more and before he even was done with his mandated time she was like "We have got to make this movie." If I remember correctly Shia wasn't originally going to play his dad but during a reading it was so perfect he HAD to.
That scene with the Big Brother and the BBQ really fucked my shit up

Keith!! Check out Custody next
