The film also stars Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan and Timothy Hutton.
Beautiful Boy is directed by Felix van Groeningen (the Oscar-nominated The Broken Circle Breakdown) with a script from Groeningen and Luke Davies (Lion). It’s produced by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner aka Plan B, the Oscar-winning team behind 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight.
