Given the subject matter and the already poignant performance there’s no question Beautiful Boy is going to be a swift kick in the feels, and many are eagerly awaiting it’s October release.
Can this movie get any better !! This is just a teaser and I'm crying already. It seems I need help because I can't stop watching the teaser. I can already tell that @RealChalamet and @SteveCarell have done a great job. This is gonna be one of the best movies of 2018.

It may be a bit premature but that didn’t stop people from making their Oscar predictions for next year.

I just watched an emotionally charged scene from #BeautifulBoy with Timothée Chalamet & Steve Carell. This movie is going to emotionally destroy me. Also, just go ahead & give Timmy the Oscar. It’s going to be hard for anyone to top him. #CinemaCon

In the end, fans could only find one problem with the trailer.
How to stop myself playing this on loop?
