    Beautiful Boy

    ★★★

    Truly heartbreaking how drugs can so easily latch on to someone's life and leave unrepairable damage to its victim and their relationships to others.

Many outdated techniques and scenes were noted that I just don't have an appreciation for when it comes to older movies. Although minding my opinion, I can see how this was amazing for its time. Being made only four years after the end of the war, I'm sure the people were curious about the affairs within battle, itching to see valiant…
