Directed by Alma Har'el, written by Shia LaBeouf, produced by Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Anita Gou and Daniela Taplin Lundberg.
Average viewer score of 7.0/10 from 750 ratings.
Alma Har’el delivers a beautifully-directed, therapeutic story that a lot of people will be able to connect with. Shia LaBeouf shines as both screenwriter and actor, but Noah Jupe proves that he’s one of the best young actors working today. It’s a bit repetitive and heavy to watch, but it’s on the top 1/3 of 2019. Rating: B+

Stunning. Hedges is excellent. And if we are to believe half of it, I guess we know why Shia is the way he is.
