About Honey Boy (film) in brief
Honey Boy is a 2019 American drama film directed by Alma Har’el with a screenplay by Shia LaBeouf, based on his childhood and his relationship with his father. The film stars La beouf, Lucas Hedges, Noah Jupe and FKA Twigs. Honey Boy had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2019 and was released on November 8, 2019, by Amazon Studios. The script is based on the character Otis Lort, a movie star who has an extreme alcohol problem. In 2005, Otis remembers working as a child actor, who is accompanied on set by his father, James, a former rodeo clown. James is four years sober but clearly on edge and unpredictable, manic and aggressive. The two live in a meager motel complex where a shy young woman lives across from them.
In 1995, James hits him in the face twice, furious at Otis for speaking to him that way, and then leaves on his motorcycle and scores drugs at a strip club. James takes Otis to marijuana plants he has been growing off the highway and smokes with him. Otis revisits the motel and imagines himself finding his father there in his rodeo costume, and the two ride away on James’s motorcycle, which fades into Otis driving away alone. The title comes from his nickname, Honey Boy, which he used to call his father when he was a child, and comes from a song he sang as a young boy. La beauf originally wrote the script as a form of therapy while in rehab.
