Honey Boy (2019) Ft. Brandon Drew

Otis, a former child star caught in a downward spiral, is forced into rehab after a drunk driving incident places his reputation, career, and well-being in peril. Upon entering into the facility, Otis is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and is court-ordered to undergo treatment to avoid a prison sentence. Facing an unwillingness to confront a fractured past, Otis revisits a painful and bittersweet time in his life to mend a broken relationship with his father.

 

This touching and heartfelt portrayal of making the inner trek to find acceptance and healing earns its place as a cathartic and beautiful film to experience time and time again. Directed by Alma Har’el and written by Shia LaBeouf, this story captures the essence of forgiveness and seeks to provide an answer toward breaking the cycle of generational trauma.

 

We are joined by a great friend and guest of the show, Brandon Drew, who also picked this entry for us to review. As always, thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy the discussion.
