HONEY BOY may be the biggest missed opportunity for Academy voters this Awards Season, but it will live on and likely gain cult classic status for its raw and brilliant deconstruction of a child actor’s roller coaster fueled rocket ride into recovery through self-destruction. LaBeouf picked an exceptional director in Alma Har’el, but he also cast himself as the father in this, and chose his younger self with amazing clarity in Noah Jupe. Jupe will be remembered for this early work on a fast career rise.
