Shia LaBeouf (The Peanut Butter Falcon) wrote the script for Honey Boy while he was undergoing rehab treatment. As much an exercise in psychological understanding as it is a creative spirit finding a positive outlet, this acclaimed film charts the actor’s stormy upbringing and explores his struggles to reconcile with his father. Fictionalising his childhood ascent to stardom, and subsequent crash-landing into alcohol and drug abuse, arrests and eventually rehab, this delicate and powerful self-reflective drama stars Academy Award-nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) and a debut role for groundbreaking artist FKA Twigs.
