Honey Boy Ratings & Reviews

It is hard to watch somebody just wanting to be loved and then in return is ignored and abused. The actors playing Shia do a great job with Noah Jupe being the best acting part. It does kinda just feel like a therapy session though and the movie left me wanting more answers to things. It’s solid watch and a look behind the curtain of Shias life.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Director Alma Har'el brings this cherry bomb to the screen with a delicate touch that is handled with the sort of compassion that was clearly lacking in LaBeouf's upbringing.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Thanks to Har'el's assertively meditative direction and LaBeouf's profound, emotionally-modulated script Honey Boy is a dramatic tour de force.

Chris Stuckmann
The movie feels very raw. LaBeouf's voice is very unfiltered through this movie... You can tell that he's working through things as he writes the movie.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
Sometimes painful to watch, but it is also a moving depiction of a man's struggles to understand and perhaps forgive.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
Either as public relations or as therapy, it looks like a dodge. But as art, "Honey Boy" is kind of brilliant.
Observer
Rex Reed
I don't know about you, but this is not what I go to the movies for. Color it despicable.
Los Angeles Times
Jen Yamato
Buoyed by sensitive and ferocious ensemble turns, "Honey Boy" is a cinematic salve for a tortured soul, in many regards a powerful vehicle for its star-screenwriter-subject and a vibrant narrative debut for documentary and video artist Har'el.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Honey Boy is a fascinating psychological deep dive.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Honey Boy adds to the impression that LaBeouf is moving into very interesting territory as an actor, territory uniquely his own.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
Har'el and Braier bring a gnarly shimmer to poolside dreams and roadside pipe-dreams. Along with LaBeouf, they bequeath the roughest characters with the tenderest mercies.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The direction by the Israeli filmmaker Alma Har'el goes a long way to making "Honey Boy" watchable, bearable, relatable. Poetic, even.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
"Honey Boy" is more than LaBeouf's bounce-back film. It's an explanation. It's part of his 12-step process. It's a cathartic release of anger.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
In this intense, unsettling, modestly triumphant portrait of the artist as a young man, LaBeouf shows us not only how he grew up, but what it cost him along the way.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
This film just feels really powerful... Raw and gorgeous.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
When it comes to cinema as therapy, LeBeouf put his time (and ours) to superb use here.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
LaBeouf plays James with a psychodramatic intensity that's nonetheless methodical.
Slate
Inkoo Kang
LaBeouf is so revelatory as both writer and actor that the film defies cynicism about its second purpose as celebrity image management. It just makes you excited about the work.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
[Shia LaBeouf] delivers a captivating, haunting, and brutally honest exploration of a life we think we know makes it unmissable.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
Written by LeBeouf and directed by documentary filmmaker Alma Ha'rel, "Honey Boy" is catharsis as compelling character study.
