I just came across your channel and I feel I NEED to tell u to be careful. Its easy to think, well it's just a movie and I'm beyond that... But this movie portrays our struggle too realistically. Anyways, I think u know what I'm getting at..

[@AriNoelle1]

This movie is based on a true story and was adapted from the books “Beautiful Boy” and “Tweak”. Beautiful Boy written by the father, David Sheff and Tweak written by Nic. Beautiful Boy is essentially the memoir you see the father writing in the movie and is about him coming to terms with his sons addiction. And Tweak is Nics telling of his addiction. To my knowledge Nic Sheff is still sober today. Making it more than 10 years❤️

[@Ulrika_F]

Saw this movie for a couple of years ago. As a parent of an addict it hits hard. Almost every scene was like a punch in the gut.

[@richieordeanidc536]

my mother is a recovered addict and your videos and your perspective have really helped me to begin to understand her and gain some empathy for her, which has been really healing for me. thank you.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

🙏

[@madyfrisch9583]

this movie came out at the peak of my brothers addiction, reading the books along with watching this was probably one of the most eye opening experiences for me. my brother will be 2 years sober this june and i couldn’t be more proud of him

[@irlcamila]

im so happy for you and your brother, mine has been battling for years and is now a little over two months clean. i can only hope it lasts

[@madyfrisch9583]

@@irlcamila it might take a few tries for him. it took mine 3. after telling him despite how much i loved him i didn’t want to see his face again unless he was clean, he stopped talking to me, called me 8 months later and we had breakfast together. i know it’s difficult, but don’t lose hope in him, and he won’t lose it in himself.

[@Leandro-ce3lv]

@@irlcamilahow is he doing?

[@irlcamila]

@@Leandro-ce3lv not great.. he relapsed. in fact when i got ur notification we were worried sick waiting for him to come back home as he was out for a couple days and we didnt know where he'd gone :/

[@evakeith9698]

@@irlcamila im so sorry to hear this. is he doing any better now?

[@Stephystefff]

I watched this movie for the first time a few weeks before my boyfriend took his own life. We were both addicts. It reminded me of his relationship with his father and so I wanted him to watch it. He passed August 23rd, 2022 so he never got to watch it but I’ve seen this over and over since. Shortly after he passed my addiction worsened x10. I’m now 42 days clean. Amazing movie. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Your reactions even made me tear up again! 🥲 great video!

[@constanza2168]

Hang in there en much love to you ❤

[@TeaRose9]

So sad, so sorry for your loss.

[@a_town_mac9672]

So sorry to hear about your loss but congrats on sobriety!! You got this 🤙🏻

[@Kenziebomboclat]

How’s it going?

[@Max4Z]

I feel like watching these sort of films and series around this topic helps us really put into perspective the problem we’re dealing with n just how much damage it does to ourselves and those around us, which can serve as a motivating factor to Keep Going 💪

[@tynet429]

Hi sir, I just wanted to say that I’m so happy you’re alive today. And I hope the rest of your life is wholly beautiful. Thanks for the reaction

[@GettinSpooky]

this movie for me as someone in recovery for alcohol abuse really hit me so hard, just because my poor dad, was steve in this film he did everything he could for be but had to sit and watch me destroy myself , helpless. I'm over a year now sober and im glad to give him the peace.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

♥️

[@thomasrokos5433]

This triggered me. I stood by my sister who battled drugs for 10 years and she lost the battle 1/1/23. Not a day goes by that I do not feel lost and cry several times a day. I feel so empty without my sister. I am probably going to have to go to grieve counseling to cope.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

I am so sorry to hear that 🙏 ♥️

[@robertivers4200]

You owe it to yourself to get some counseling and expect to carry this loss the rest of your life. It does get better with time. This could change the coarse of your life in a positive way❤😢

[@elisethrones6232]

I lost my sister in March of 2023 to drugs. This movie and videos like this one help me understand that I am not the only one who grieves like this. Helps me understand her too and how difficult everyday was for her. I hope we both find peace in our lives. But it is something that we will deal with forever. I see you and wish you the best.

[@constanza2168]

Much love to you ❤

[@thomasrokos5433]

Thank you

The first movie to ever make me cry

[@jacklinton5370]

4 months and 2 days clean. Narcotics anonymous was my savour. Nothing else has words I have a sponsor that is 4 years clean this Friday and I’m so grateful for him.

[@strawmeatcamal1681]

watching it as someone who struggles with addiction, the movie really show's every part of things that happen behind closed doors.

[@cmock810]

I have watched this movie so many times and have cried every time. Watching your reaction was no exception and I just couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Having experienced my father be an addict produced a fear in me that has never gone away. I have 4 grown children and there is not a day that goes by that I don't worry about addiction becoming a part of their life. I saw what it did to my father and just the thought of possibly watching it happen to my children consumes me in a way that I know is unhealthy. I am proud to say that my father has been clean for over 30 years now and I couldn't be more proud of the man that he is today.

[@natalie218]

I know this is gonna be a good one ! but but definitely a lot of tears

[@jswilliams3510]

My husband’s mother was a prescription drug user and his father was an alcoholic. He was a victim of child negligent. I am thankful he pushed though it as best he could. I’m thankful I found him. He’s a beautiful human being and he’s been my husband for thirty plus years. There are many victims in abuse. This movie is a roller coaster of emotion for all. Love you all who have gone through this.

[@meganbrick6266]

Oh honey 💔 your tears are coming from such a deep real place and it’s breaking my heart. I have three kids and I’m terrified of addiction coming for my babies. It floats around in my family but I was spared. My teenage son has smoked pot and drank and I watch so closely for signs it’s getting out of hand…it’s just so scary. I’m so very glad you’re still here. ❤

[@7DeadlyBananas]

🙏

[@Stardust-d1s]

Oh this is going to hit really hard. I can only wish every guy girl out there gets a father like the dad in this movie! Not to forget it’s a real life story. Also this makes me remind you TO DEFINITELY WATCH SPOILER ALERT and FAULT IN OUR STARS MOVIE. And fellow travelers mini series( have tissues pls for all the above)

[@namjoonie936]

ironically i randomly watched this movie one weekend last year in rehab with one of my housemates their, it was just randomly on tv one afternoon. we cried a lot but it was cathartic.

[@kellifranklin4432]

This February I will be clean for 11 years. It was opiates for me. I put my family through hell for years and years until I finally hit my rock bottom. At the end of the day it's up to us addicts to get clean and give our family and friends as much time as they need in order for us to earn and build back trust. It's taken me a very long time. I'm in such a good place now and my relationships with my loved ones keeps me happy and safe. It's always going to be one day at a time for me, but it's gotten where I have great days almost every day. Thank you for watching this movie. It's the truth.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

🙏 Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉🎈 early I know 😂 I’ll be 14 in January 🙌

[@kellycreates3310]

Congratulations on sobriety.

[@daraudobong7195]

Thank God! So grateful you are all still here with us

[@Kimberlyflor]

I can not express how much this movie has helped and changed me. People always say “your not alone” and i know im not alone, other people have these experiences aswell but it has always felt like i was alone. I hear others story’s and i cant relate and that makes it so easy to disregard my own experiences till i watched this movie. It honestly scares me how much this movie has paralleled pivotal moments in my life. All i have is love for this movie. This is a very difficult topic that was executed so well. So much respect of all who were involved in making this masterpiece.

[@Belladonna313]

I got sober July 2020 from painkillers and then in July 2022 I lost a childhood friend to painkillers. I think her passing away has kept me on track. Most people with addictions have such really big hearts. I hope everyone suffering from it can take it day by day and one step at a time, those little steps lead to long walks 😊 x

[@grace9226]

oh im gonna cry for sure at this

[@NYandAZ]

Your reaction made me cry!! An incredible review and raw emotion from you. Thank you for sharing your story with us and you should still be proud of yourself every single day for maintaining your sobriety. Both of my twin sons were using, I truly don’t know what, but one has been sober and just got his diploma from graduate school. He has a fantastic career that he truly loves. My other son moved closer to my mother, his enabler, and we don’t really speak. He calls me unspeakably disgusting names and makes up morbid stories about his upbringing. I’ve heard that he’s told people that I was dead - just for the sympathy and a little bit of cash. I can not have a relationship with him anymore because it was so damaging to my own already damaged mental health due to a very traumatic marriage (their biological father). I’ve been remarried for 27 years now; he adopted them when we married. My addicted son calls him his stepfather when he’s in the middle of a high. More disgusting and disrespectful names also. I had to pull away because I was not going to make it in this life if I kept my self worth attached to what my son was calling me. It’s been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made in my entire life. I still crave just to hear his voice every single day. 😔

[@gloria7190]

I didn’t struggle with addiction but I struggled for almost a decade with anorexia and other eating disorders. It took away my youth and I lost some of my friends due to the same illness. I never struggled with addiction but I still relate with this movie and It’s incredibly hard and painful for me to watch because I recognize the patterns of that self destruction path and that titanic fight with oneself. It’s a snake eating his tale, It affects everybody around you, It isolate you completely and the only thing you can do is keep lying to others and to yourself because the shame is unberable and the void you feel consumates you. And the worst part It’s you become so good at hiding and denying you have a problem that It’s very hard for people to recognize you are going trough it. So yes I relate to this movie and I can feel in my bones how real It is and I can’t Imagine how hard It must be for you to watch something like this. I’m just grateful that movies like this are being made and this actors did an amazing job.

[@emmaaaaaa62442]

Hi! I’m new to your channel. Drug addiction runs in my family, and while no one in my immediate family has ever struggled with it specifically, I used to self-harm quite a bit. It eventually got so bad that I started feeling dizzy when I stood up and cloth against my skin hurt. I was more irritable and developed an eating disorder. I was always scared I was going crazy. I can relate to certain aspects of this film and some of the feelings Nic had. I’m glad to hear that you’re sober, and doing better! ❤

[@7DeadlyBananas]

♥️ 🙏

[@vitorialima8399]

I've never heard about this movie before, I was never an addict to anything, but I had people around me that was. My biological father, his brother and and my former stepfather, all of them were or still are drug addicts, my father was murdered by his drug dealers, my uncle disappeared for years and my stepfather sold everything that my mom, my siblings and himself owned to buy drugs while my mom was out of town for my birthday. This might be one of the most realistic movies I have ever seen. The fear of prescribed medication is so real, because of my family historic, for the longest time I neglected myself, I have crippling anxiety and depression, but I was so scared to take prescription medications, I didn't wanted to become like them, I lived through the pain of seeing them slipping away little by little, I didn't wanted others to feel that about me. After years of seeing me struggling, my family convinced me to go to a psychiatrist and get medicated, but I begged my family for them to be the ones to take care of my meds, they know about my fear of becoming an addict, I don't know where they keep it, and if I had to take them when I'm by myself, they just left the exact amount of it on the kitchen table. I lost 6 years of my life because of mental illness, I started taking my meds in 2022, I just got stable in 2023, and now 2024 is the first time in years that I feel myself again. I'm going to turn 25 in a couple of weeks, I have the hope to finally being able to achieve my goals now, small steps at a time, but I'm gonna get there 🌻💛

[@estebanramirez594]

Thank you for sharing

[@TimZoet]

I think you'd also find the video Why We Can't Save Those We Love by the youtuber Like Stories of Old a very powerful watch. You feel so powerless when someone you care about is slipping away, and they don't want your help

[@acailoves]

This movie hit me so hard. can't wait for the reaction.

[@charliegrimwood4285]

I've not been able to bear watching this movie until now because the actor reminds me a lot of my brother who unfortunately suffered from a drug addiction. He's sober now thankfully but it was really bad for a while

[@juliotorres8072]

I just lost my sister on New Years Day to addiction. I don’t know why I watched this or why I’m even writing this. Maybe crying and forcing myself to see what she was going through is somewhat therapeutic. Ima a mess right with you. I hope anyone dealing with addiction gets the strength to fight thru it. My sister destroyed her body, her life, and finally lost her battle on New Year’s Day. We lost a peace of ourselves when we lost her. Such an emptiness is left inside. Anyways I’m rambling. God bless everyone dealing with addiction or an addict♥️🙏🏾😔

[@rc3357]

The audible gasp when i saw you were going to watch this, i kept forgetting to request it. ❤ mainly because it is so on point for this channel

[@Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalai]

you've gotta watch stay awake or thirteen. personal favs of mine, both bring me to tears every time

[@jaagb16]

watching this as a kid of 2 addicts, just trying to understand what my father went thru. this movie stirred a pain so deep within me. he’s been sober 14 years now. God is good.

[@bitscrawford]

i've avoided watching this movie because i KNOW it will make my heart ache. i thought i could watch this reaction and get the highlights of the movie with some really wonderful, insightful commentary, which i did!! but i still cried like a baby lmao

[@G-Q67]

Yup. Hits hard. Thank you for addressing this. You're a beautiful man, Mr. Diaz.

[@imjustmekai6176]

11:30 yeah this is exactly when I started crying

[@lilli2165]

As I get older my mom tells me her stories about addiction when she was younger but she got help but she has friends that are still to this day addicts and not improving their lives and ruining their families. The OD scene really hits because one day while I was at school my “uncle” came over and had an OD my mother had to keep him alive until the paramedics came. My mom has cut him off and I no longer see him when I was younger I loved him but I no longer want to see him. He went to prison became sober he got out and started to use again he’s 40 something it’s his job to help himself.

[@moonanx]

I don't know you but I'm so proud you. I am so proud of you, you're doing amazing and I'm happy to see you here with us, creating a lovely community on your channel and providing a sense of comfort for your viewers.

[@Ocean88]

aspects of this film just hit so incredibly hard, this reaction popping up in my recommended has reminded me I need to finish reading the book, wish the best for everyone.

[@kstump14]

I personally have never been addicted to drugs or alcohol and neither has anyone in my family. Before, I never empathized with addicts because of their choices. Now, I’m in an addictions class and I volunteer at a soup kitchen and talk with addicts most of the time. I feel for them so much, even though I don’t fully understand what they’re going through or what their experience is like. I watched this movie a little bit after it came out and then again just a couple weeks ago. Cried both times and it will always get me. I want to thank you for your courage to share parts of your story and to be vulnerable. You’re amazing for this and I appreciate your honest comments!

[@bluedabadeee]

I watched this movie in the beginning of 2023 and it never really had left my mind. Seeing your reaction made me bawl. What a powerful movie.

[@stevenciesiel777]

This movie hit real close to home for me too. I was addicted to narcotic pain medication and what hit close to home with this movie was the relapses and the shame and guilt I felt after taking the pills again and putting my family thru it. I almost ruined my marriage over it wife was getting fed up with the relapses. Thing is I wanted help and I got help went thru an outpatient program then NA for a bit then had a brief relapse again. That was my last relapse after that relapse 19 months later I’m finally clean no more pills no pot not even a sip of alcohol. This movie made me cry especially the scene where the father is crying brought back memories of my mother who never gave up on me!

[@Jayhow90]

My dad showed up at my apartment 2 days ago because I'd been MIA for a week, he was calling my case worker who is trying to get me into an inpatient program. But I'm avoiding their calls. This movie hits home.

[@babyjki444]

his sponsor being bubbles from the wire was a nice touch lol. amazing portrayal if you want to check it out on your own time one day. amazing show overall as well, it's my fave of all time.

Just watched this movie for the first time today and now I'm crying all over again at 1:00 am with you. I want to say without even knowing you, I'm proud of you. You are a strong man, I'm glad you have a platform and I hope that you can be a beacon of light for people that are struggling and others that have struggled before.

[@edabillano106]

Thank you for reacting to this movie. I know it hits home to you and I'm glad you were open on letting us in with your experience. I understand the helplessness of seeing a love one deal with a drug addiction. The possibility of a relapse is always behind my mind. But hearing your experience and outlook helps. Thanks again.

[@lillyc8000]

My mom was an addict and she passed March 2013. This movie hits hard and reminds me of her and her dad so much. I miss her all the time. Beautiful human, so depressing how drugs get you addicted and change you. It is very triggering but important that it shows the reality of drug use..

[@casimirleenknegtkohiyama1857]

I sarted crying with you even if i have no connection whatsoever with drugs.

[@Lee__28463]

This movie came out a month before my mother passed from an overdose, and she started at the same age as nic, so this movie really helped me understand her perspective

[@harleycarroll4775]

As a daughter of an addict it sucks. But for myself and my sanity I have had to cut off my birthfather. I hope he gets to a point where he is sober, but I have had to come to terms with it and have accepted that I am not gonna out myself through that struggle. However, on the flip side, as a daughter of an addict there is a struggle for me. Going out with friends... I never really got the college party phase and never truly felt normal. Cause to me there is no just a joint, just a drink, just a little bit of anything.. This movie isn't a 100% translation, but I can only imagine what my grandparents have gone through.

[@7DeadlyBananas]

When it comes to my parents, particularly my dad who passed when I was 8, I like to think of as like a “they did it, so I didn’t have to” kind of thing. It helps me look at them in a better light and helps inspire me to change the cycle. I’ve learned to praise them in this regard. It’s hard to see it for a lot of folks and I totally understand. But it’s easy to forget that at some point, they were just like me. Naive young person, probably to trusting, thought I knew how the world worked and thought I was different from my family enough to not be an addict. It’s taken some practice when it comes to my dad but my mom was easy. Her and I were very much alike in that we were more self destructive than outwardly so. Something I keep repeating in my head here and there is that it’s just not necessary. At one point we were all children. At one point we saw the world in wonder and everything glowed… without the dam drugs or booze or whatever. Personally, I wanted to go back to that. Celebrating 14 years at the end of this month and I’m still not there all the way but I’m having more and more fun trying 😂

[@girlhell333]

watching this movie with my girlfriend when i get the chance too. my mom is an addict and in november she was placed in jail for probation and child endangerment. i’ve been to my moms AA meetings with her and all i want is for her to get better. i love Beautiful Boy and it touches my heart.

[@makinnastangland]

oh i’m gonna have to put this in my calendar

[@Ella456456456]

Love the reaction, knew it would be raw. I think you would enjoy watching Demi’s documentary called “Dancing With the Devil”. It is very raw, talking about addiction

[@Jennilynne]

I agree. That was a really good documentary but man, it was a hard watch at times just because of how raw it was. She's been through so much and I'm glad she's still around to talk about it. So many others aren't

[@7DeadlyBananas]

I’m planning on watching it to tie together the sober guy reacts and a new segment we plan try with music. Dance with the devil came up right away.

[@jellisocrazy]

You should watch “A Good Person” , it’s about addiction too. I cried the whole time watching the movie.

[@larvisoinsight1688]

We’re all crying with you bro

[@ksailor71]

I used to work as an ICU nurse in San Francisco. I used to take care of these folks. It was really hard.

[@momsspaghetti2246]

You also HAVE to watch "Christiane F." from the 80s. It's a classic and secret treasure in the movie scene was the first movie that portrayed child drug addiction in such a realistic way. They have a lot of scenes in actual places filmed with hidden camera like a documentary showing the drug scene in Berlin subways. They even paid the addicts there to be filmed for the movie. And they have a concert scene with David Bowie, that Tarantino described as the most realistic concert scene he has seen.

[@skvllmaggots]

Omg yes , I love that movie so much 😭

[@LAZISH]

I saw that movie when I was teen and it damaged me!!!!!

[@frogsonwednesdays]

I watched this movie a few months ago after I saw people recommending it in your comments. It’s definitely painful

[@Camothor10]

My 21 year old cousin overdosed and died this last October and this movie is just too real

[@wendigojimmay9150]

I have to give it to Timothy he went and hung out with some folks who were in the throws of it too get his bases for his acting in the film and man he hit it spot on, both ends are done perfectly, it shows the real recovery not the Hollywood heroin chic and I’m glad they made this film. Was more then cathartic to watch lol.

[@cryptic3350]

I just wanted to say that I am so proud of you. I could only imagine how hard your journey has been to stay sober. God Bless. Jesus loves you ❤🙏🏼

[@Politcisandworldnews]

My mum and dad made me sit down and watch this film as they were on the verge of kicking me out because of my addiction to opioids, spice juice and cocaine. After 2 years of addiction, I’m now 5 months clean. I’ve still got a way to go, but I’ve got my life in order now, I’ve got a good job in a trade that I see a future in. And I’ve got a good circle of people around me. Onwards and upwards fingers crossed 🤞

[@washo2222]

Thanks for your reaction to what I think is very important movie with a story that needs to be told. I wish more film reactors would choose this film but they honor their Patreon choices, IMDB, and Rotten Tomato ratings more than a thumbnail sketch of what the movie is about. Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet both did outstanding performances and were robbed of any nominations for Oscars due to Amazon Studios pulling the movie out of the theaters way too soon for it to be considered. I just lost a friend who died from a fentanyl overdose. He was only 32. I felt helpless because he had moved nearly 75 miles away and we were so close.

[@aster_11]

My mom is a recovering abusive alcoholic (5 yrs sober) and it's been going on my whole life. Putting myself in her shoes and her perspective has helped me so much. If anything, it's fucked up, but I appreciate everything that happened to me, bc it made me very mature and helped me avoid things like that. We have a really good relationship now, it's been difficult but we're both so much better. Yeah definitely accepting I couldn't change her was a big step, also me having /that/ conversation of choosing myself, helped her a lot as horrible as that sounds. I went to go live with my grandparents for quite a while and was diagnosed with ptsd and went to trauma therapy. She's been able to deal with the reasons behind her drinking.

[@compressedst]

watching this movie makes me feel so much hurt for what i’ve put my dad through. almost a year sober now

Im an addict, its been 10 years now. Ive seen this movie, but never the reaction. Thank you for saying what I was thinking. And you are absolutely right about drugs from doctors ('prescription'???). Its way too easy and tempting

[@tahliyahiriee8507]

Wow. I did not know you struggled with more than alcohol. I’m not sure if you’ve already shared your story but I am very interested in hearing how you became an addict and how you managed to get to where you are today. either way, I am very glad to see you are doing well and I pray that you never lose the immense strength that you have! I may not know you personally but, I am still proud of you and you should be too soldier!💪🏽🙏🏽❤️ (you look amazing btw, respectfully)

[@nickintherealworld225]

This was hard the first time I watched it. I was about 3 months into my sobriety. But it actually helped me a lot. In a weird way it almost like facing your own faults.

[@rachljperdew]

when I first heard about this movie I thought it was going to be about the dad trying to figure out his sons mindset as an addict by doing the same drugs then becoming an addict himself… either way this movie made me sob and I haven’t been able to rewatch it since

[@youknow12341000]

What a powerful movie. Great reaction too!

My roommate wasn't contributing but got drunk all the time. Eventually when I lost my job after the banks crashed the economy I needed him to pay a few hundred. He went get money and came back drunk and argumentative. I was evicted, lost almost everything, and he was arrested, put in a rehab and thrown out. He died on the streets of San Diego. Probably from brain damage from falling so much. I have not been able to get out of the homeless poverty and physical pain associated with having no car or real housing. He was a sweet person when he wasn't drunk but no one could help him

Thank you for the reaction. Much respect to you sir! I see that you have been through a lot in life. I believe that people can change. I am very glad that you found yourself, it requires a lot of strength. You are a very strong person.

I'm so scared of this for my son. As a new first time mum everything scares me tbh 😅 but I've seen family members go through this and the not knowing if I would be equipped to help him scares me more than anything 😢

I don’t think there’s a way around that fear honestly. During the times I had hopes to be a dad, it was always on the front lines of fears. And one would think I’d be better prepared, having had my own experiences. But it still doesn’t prep you for real life and the emotional reactions everyone will have to go through. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉 btw 😂 My best advice right now is don’t worry what COULD be, right now. Be the caring, loving mom you already plan to be. From there, knowledge is the best tool you have. Make some sober friends 🙌
