Beautiful Boy (2010)
5/10
a tale of grief
27 February 2012
This is another movie about a couple whom has lost a child except the difference is it is told from the perspective of parents whose child killed other students before committing suicide.

The movie starts out with the couple, Kate and Bill, planning a vacation with their son. We don't learn much about the son except he's in college and is a loner. The film jumps from there to them learning that he's killed other kids and himself. Now, they find themselves ostracized and must wonder did they raise him right. Was it there fault he turned out to be a killer? The two were already going through marital problems and of course this makes it worse. Kate clings to the hope that their son was good and it's not their fault while Bill begins to believe they raised him wrong. So most of the movie is just a lot of grief.

FINAL VERDICT: It was OK, but slow moving and the subject matter is depressing. Maybe check it out on cable.
