MCAB Free Friday Film: Beautiful Boy

As John Lennon’s lyrics go:

“ ‘Cause it’s a long way to go, A hard row to hoe Yes, it’s a long way to go”

And so it proves for young Nic Sheff (Timothée Chalamet). For - based on a true story - Nic has progressively worked through the encyclopaedia of drugs until he has arrived at “C for Crystal Meth” where he is working through a recurring nightmare of addiction and attempted rehab.
