Disclaimer: the film, in isolation, is probably more worthy of 6 stars, BUT Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carrell are too fricken talented for me to ignore. They absolutely blew my mind. While I have never battled addiction or really know anyone who has, I can confidently say that Timothée's portrayal as an addict and Steve's as a grieving parent was so authentic and heartbreaking. The rest of the cast was great and helped elevate the film even further, too. Some of the editing was weird and confused me a bit, especially the flashbacks. But it didn't impede the impact of the film. Like I said, even without this cast of actors it would've been an admirable film nonetheless, but because of their performances it took a decent film and made it very good one. #TimothéeOscars2019
