of addiction and its effects Hugh Jackman’s politician
goes from hero to zero
DIRECTOR Felix van Groeningen
starring Steve Carell, Timothée
Chalamet, Maura Tierney DIRECTOR Jason Reitman
starring Hugh Jackman,
Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons
Having wowed us all
with his unforgettable
turn in 2017’s Call
Me by Your Name, Timothée
Chalamet dazzles once again
in this unforgettable drama.
Based on the bestselling
memoirs of father David Sheff,
Beautiful Boy explores the
relationship between Steve
Carell (incredible as Sheff )
and his drug-addicted teenage
son Nic (Chalamet). Utterly
compelling, you’ll leave shaken,
stirred and in awe of this young
man’s incredible acting talent. Based on the book All
the Truth is Out by
Matt Bai, this terrific
biography from Jason Reitman
sees Hugh Jackman playing
married senator, Gary Hart.
The year is 1988 and Hart is
America’s (likely) next choice
for president, until that is, the
media discovers that he’s having
an affair. With conservatives
up in arms, the once odds-
on-favourite finds himself
plummeting in the polls, with
little hope of redemption.
A thought-provoking treat.

Hill vying – hilariously and
occasionally horrifyingly –
for their luckless monarch’s
attention. Based on actual
events, this is a scintillating
and sumptuous period drama
that perfectly blends whimsy,
tragedy and (very black)
humour. Definitely one to
watch come awards season – it
may well sweep the board.
