I've heard that Beautiful Boy is a sad movie.
Yes.
FYI, watch this young gay Brit's review of Call Me By Your Name --he saw it one of the screenings at the London Film Festival--he's funny AND he loved the movie, VERY articulate (as many Brits are).[youtube=710,400]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZWHlLNVeXs[/youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZWHlLNVeXsCall Me By Your Name - Film Review (London Film Festival)Luke HearfieldPublished on Oct 11, 2017Luca Guadagnino's sun-drenched love story is a spell-binding piece of art. It's gonna be an awards-contender but it's also a genuinely touching film that will resonate with anyone whose ever been in love. Go and see it! Check out my full thoughts here.
Ok, that's it, I've decided--I will NOT be seeing Luca's latest.(Sorry, Luca!)

The latest film from Luca Guadignino (Call Me By Your Name) will scar you for life. The loving remake of the 1977 classic by Dario Argento's SUSPiRiA is set at a prestigious dance school in Berlin where the teachers practice more than dance... they also dabble in witchcraft. Premiering at The Venice Film Festival to both cheers and boos - SUSPiRiA will likely be the most divisive film of 2018. Move over Darren Aronofsky's mother! - theres a new disturbing film that people will either love or hate.But Which side am I on? hmmmm? That is the mystery. Guess you'll have to watch my review to find out.

He has said the follow-up would take place in the early 1990s, about five years after the original time, and will touch upon the early years of the AIDS epidemic.“More than anything I trust the artistic direction to Luca and novelist André Aciman and to those guys who did such a good job handling it the first time around,” Hammer said. “The only thing I want to see is I want to see it happen. I want to do it again.”“I miss the whole crew,” he added. “It was such a special time. It was such a collaborative, unique, and totally immersive filming experience that I never really had, nor since. If we get to do another one, I’ll feel really lucky.”Hammer continues to receive peached-theme gifts, including peach-flavored Haribo candy. A fan gave him a 10-pound bag for his birthday after one of his performances on Broadway in “Straight White Men.”We had to ask if anyone from the peach industry has approached him about becoming a spokesman. “I’m pretty sure the peach industry saw what we did to the peaches and was like, ‘We can’t go there,’” Hammer said before adding with a laugh, “Peaches — they’ve got a variety of uses.”
