→ Interview: Sophie Reid on ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and ‘Lone Wolf’

“Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges are both incredible in the sense that they’re very receptive actors—they feed off of each other. They’re keen improvisers. For me, I was being very receptive to what they were doing all the time. Simply by observing them, that affected how we all sang and how we all performed the material that supported what they were doing.”

It’s Raining Sims

Billy fixed the broken dishwasher and Marsha made breakfast while Otis Chased a fly. Just a typical day until the big bachelorette party!

It became pretty apparent that the chill night I had planned was not going to go as expected! Right out of the gate Adriana sprayed the Bride with Champagne! Marsha spent literally the rest of the night in her underwear! 

Aaaand I forgot they automatically show up in formal attire for bachelor/bachelorette parties! Facepalm. Well at least Rayne is no longer wearing her wedding gown, but she is in her maid of honor gown for tonight, which looks white instead of the blush color it actually is.  Attack of the Brides anyone??

Hey, maybe it was a theme or something, so I left them for the majority of the night. Now if I ran a classy winery and saw these shenanigans I might try to calm my patrons, but not the guy in the background. He just followed them around laughing all night!

Meanwhile, upstairs I thought it would be nice for Marsha to order a round of drinks for everyone.  She had other ideas. She literally drank them ALL! 

Looks like Corinna finally got her own drink. Gawd! the bridal get up and open bar.  Brings back memories of Corinna’s wedding in the first rotation..LOL!

And Rayne, who is newly pregnant is apparently exhausted. Oh Lort!  What is going on? It’s still early!

Literally woke up when the “dancer” arrived.  Well at least she has her priorities in check.

Two of them!!?? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen two of them show up!! Is this normal?  Bahahaha! Well the girls are all drunk except for Rayne who just woke up so this should be fun, LOL!

Honestly, she’s just here for the hot cowboys...LOL!

Oh, yeah! I didn’t even notice that Precious wasn’t there! Neither was Ariane or Sheree.

I wonder what this is doing for business at the nectary?  Hmm...maybe I should check in on Billy and Forrest for a moment just to make sure he’s actually being cared for while mom is downtown getting plastered.

In the red...just as I suspected...

Looks like the rest of the party goers have made their way down for the show and to dance! Better take advantage of the moment to swap out Corinna and Joanna’s formal wear so they don’t show up to the wedding tomorrow in their own bridal gowns! And what’s this?

Oh Adriana! What is it with you and bachelor/bachelorette parties!!?? I mean it’s still better than what happened the last time, I guess!

Marsha’s off to clog the toilet! Just keeping up the precedent I guess, but geeze! I hope they don’t get banned from the place!

We’ve lost another one!

OMG, Adriana!!! I know Marsha was hogging the bathroom, but seriously?? Bladder control loss after having children is real y’all!

Really??? After all that it’s just a modest success!!??

One last check of Forrest and it was off to bed. Otis was keeping watch, but decided the chair looked more comfortable. Typical cat, LOL!

This newly released clip from Shia LaBeouf’s Honey Boy is an exact reference to the opening scene of “Sibling Rivalry.” I was wondering how closely the Even Stevens nods would mirror the show... This is crazy. Seeing what things were like off set is so heavy. Oh, man.

‘Honey Boy’ is too good for this dusty world

Shia Labeouf is a genius. His film, ‘Honey Boy’ will sweep at the Academy Awards. If it doesn’t then I guess there’s still ‘Ford V Ferrari’...

‘Honey Boy’ startles the senses. It is suddenly funny, then soulful, then travels into the spaces between dreaming and awake. Shia, and director Alma Har’el, have created a movie that is equal parts therapy session and film.

For some, that sounds like emotional work. Work you don’t want from your films. Fair.

But ‘Honey Boy’ asks from the audience in a way that never feels abusive. It’s an emotional film that elicits laughter when you least suspect it, then punches you in the stomach when it remembers a long-forgotten, childhood memory.

I imagine that the critics to ‘Honey Boy’ might dissect Shia’s performance as an effort to get audiences to sympathize for him. Those critics are, frankly, grasping at straws. They are searching for reasons to dislike a very talented man. They want to paint Shia with a ‘poor me, privileged little sad boy’ brush. Unfortunately, Shia has painted himeslf into a complicated corner of storytelling by depicting his life, and his father’s, for the world to see.

Shia has invited all of us in to witness the relationship that he, as a child, was striving to be let into between he and his father. We watch a young boy, blessed with talent and charisma, struggle to win the approval of the man who matters the most. And again, Shia narrowly camouflages his life with the characters on screen, but the best strategy is to blur the edges of the two.

Shia is James Lort, the child star Otis Lort’s father, conman, Harley driving, former rodeo clown who had the good fortune of bearing the son, Shia Labeouf. And he isn’t James Lort.

James Lort’s relationship with his son is a complicated one. But at its core, it’s a relationship about a father who never realized his dreams, whatever the reason. Be it his alcoholism, childhood traumas, or bad judgment, James Lort’s story is one worth hearing. Shia Labeouf, like no one on this planet, is equipped to play the man who raised him, and flexes his acting chops like a virtuoso. His performance is full of specific choices and idiosyncrasies that flesh out the man who raised him into being a massive star.

Labeouf’s acting is so subliminal that to call it simply “cathartic” (as I’ve seen in other reviews of the film) is ignoring the otherworldly aspects of it. Labeouf’s is a spiritual performance. He goes deep into the recesses of his mind and drudges up dark memories of his father to present him onscreen. It is an unflattering performance of a deeply charismatic, troubled man. For those of us with parents who scare us and whose approval we’ll always yearn for, to play the man who denied you normalcy, is a feat of emotional fortitude. We have the pleasure of watching Shia Labeouf exorcise a demon on screen, in front of our eyes. It makes you wonder why Shia’s been fucking around for so long. He had this in him the whole time?

Earnestness is seldom rewarded in cinema. But I’d say Labeouf and Har’el have created a deeply earnest film. And you don’t want Shia to be earnest. You don’t want him to be John Cassavetes. You want him to be a weirdo because for the last decade he’s been a weirdo.

What we know of Labeouf is a bird’s eye view on modern celebrity. That is to say, we know a lot. Labeouf is an odd media/fashion darling. He’s artsy, weird, stylish, and handsome, but not traditionally handsome. Shia’s good looks are boyish and his way with women comes with its own list of complications (that will make sense once you’ve seen the movie). Labeouf’s personal life has proven to be problematic. A drinking problem and issues with the cops seem to be the story of his early 20′s and then in recent memory, he married his teenage co-star from the Lars Von Trier film, ‘Nymphomaniac’. He is a celebrity in a real rogue sense of the word. He likes to act in movies but seems to hate being famous. But through ‘Honey Boy’ we are forced to consider what his fame and childhood success cost him. We were all complicit in his public meltdown. We made him a star when he was 12, rewarded him for acting like a clown for a paycheck, then turned around and punished him for acting like a clown when he turned 18.

We are so used to those in the spotlight that we forget that there is a whole community to whom they belong to. James is one of the community, cast in the background (though he never wished to stay in the background), and he’s found his ticket to the big leagues through his son’s success. He mostly chooses to not spoil it, but some fatal gaps in parental reasoning are missing for James. One stand out is James’ choice in residence, a roadside motel in the San Fernando Valley, the worst case scenario for this native Angeleno. It is at the motel that most of the pivotal action occurs. It is there that we get to the essence of this father-son relationship. It is also where we understand how unsustainable it is. And ultimately, it can’t go on. The film ends abruptly but not harshly. This is a movie about a man in his early 30s whose career is just getting started.

Daddy dearest

Title: “Honey Boy”

Release date: Nov. 8, 2019

Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Lucas Hedges, Noah Jupe, FKA Twigs, Byron Bowers, Laura San Giacomo, Clifton Collins Jr., Martin Starr

Directed by: Alma Har’el

Run time: 1 hour, 33 minutes

Rated: R

What it’s about: Based on an autobiographical screenplay by actor Shia LaBeouf, a young adult actor going through rehab recalls being raised by an emotionally and physically abusive father.

How I saw it: “Honey Boy,” a narrative autobiographical story written by enigmatic actor Shia LaBeouf while he was in rehab after his 2017 arrest, sticks its landing. And that’s relieving in a movie featuring so much unpleasantness. A story short on plot threatens to become just scene after scene of a young boy being emotionally and physically abused by his father and, alternatively, scenes of that boy as a young man trying to figure out what went wrong in therapy sessions inside a rehab facility. But the ending – though sudden, a bit unexpected and too brief – helps make sense of it all and offers an ever so slight ray of hope in a film that rarely even hints at happiness or redemption for the first 75 minutes.

“Honey Boy” is the story of LaBeouf’s childhood, and though it takes a few minor liberties with the facts (mostly with its timeline of events), it sticks close to reality – or at least LaBeouf’s version of events. Here, he’s not LaBeouf but Otis Lort, played by Noah Jupe as a 12-year-old and Lucas Hedges as a young adult (and both actors are outstanding; the performances are the film’s main strength). When we meet Otis, he is on the set of an action movie, then is shown drinking and then getting into a car crash, being arrested and sent to rehab (all real happenings in LaBeouf’s life). In rehab therapy sessions, Otis, who is diagnosed with PTSD, flashes back to his unpleasant childhood. He is an actor and an only child of divorce who is making just enough money to pay for him and his father to live in a cheap Los Angeles motel.

Speaking of the father: James Lort is played by LaBeouf himself, and it’s no surprise that he’s mesmerizing and a little unsettling -- both because it seems weird to see someone we know as LaBeouf playing his father and because James Lort is such an awful person. James is a former rodeo clown who used chickens as part of his act. He also has served time for sexual assault, raping Otis’ mother (who is heard only on a telephone here). Though he is Otis’ father, James also is employed by his young son as a pseudo manager and (as James Lort puts it) cheerleader for his son, whom he calls “honey boy.”

James Lort is a damaged person, a Vietnam vet and drug addict who was raised by alcoholic mother and physically abused by her female partner when she left James’ father. The elder Lort goes to 12-step meetings but mostly unloads his hurt and anger on his son. He is incapable of showing affection for Otis, who is desperate for his father’s love.

Nearly every scene involving James and Otis is difficult to stomach. The elder Lort mocks the size of his son’s genitals. When Otis is riding on the back of his dad’s motorcycle and leans forward to rest his head on his father’s shoulder, his dad jerks away. When Otis asks to hold his father’s hand, he gets punched instead. James flicks a lit cigarette at his son (who is already smoking at age 12). In one scene, Otis imagines hearing his father say he loves him, but instead it’s the voice of an adult actor in a TV show in which Otis is starring. Perhaps the most troubling scene is when Otis’ mother calls him, and she and James have Otis serve as a go-between in their angry, profanity-laced conversation.

Not all of “Honey Boy” is bleak – thankfully. Byron Bowers has some funny moments as one of young adult Otis’ fellow rehab patients, as does Martin Starr as a counselor. FKA Twigs, in her feature film debut, provides some much-needed tender moments as “shy girl,” a neighbor of the Lorts at the motel. She presumably is a prostitute, and Otis gives her some money, but theirs is not a sexual relationship; each is searching for the tenderness they have been deprived of. One of the best moments in “Honey Boy” is when she and Otis play a game of imaginary catch. And in the ending, the young adult Otis has a bit of clarity during therapy, then is shown sharing a happy moment with his father at the hotel, with both dipping their toes into the pool. We aren’t given much time to savor the scene, which gives way to end credits and photos of the real LaBeouf and his father.

Playing James Lort could not have been easy for LaBeouf, but doing so makes this a cathartic exploration that the audience is invited to experience. LaBeouf’s intensity is matched by Jupe and Hedges. Director Alma Har’el, a documentary filmmaker and music video director making her feature debut, keeps things visually inventive and interesting, employing frequent camera cuts that help the film’s already lean 93-minute run time fly by.

“Honey Boy” is original and daring filmmaking, and LaBeouf is going out on a limb here with a story that could have been self-indulgent but never goes there. It doesn’t always hit the mark, and it is a challenging and draining watch for a variety of reasons, but it takes an out-on-a-limb approach to what could have been just another sad and familiar story about a damaged child actor.

My score: 79 out of 100

Should you see it? “Honey Boy” is more art than entertainment and as much therapy session as it is movie, and it includes much ugliness. As such, it won’t be for everybody, but it’s worth a look, especially for fans of LaBeouf.

‘Honey Boy’ movie review: Shia LaBeouf’s movie therapy makes for cathartic viewing

[ad_1]

Honey Boy is a difficult watch for its honesty. To confront your demons on a public stage is terrifying to say the least. Written by Shia LaBeouf as part of therapy in rehab, Honey Boy is set in two timelines —2005 and 1995 — and looks at Otis Lort’s tumultuous relationship with his father, James.

The movie opens in 2005 where a 22-year-old Otis is a successful action movie star with…
