Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • [New] | Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
  • Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: LaBeouf, sporting a balding pate mullet, walks a tightrope as his fictionalized father, the actor never turning us against the man despite his often hateful behavior.
  • Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
    • Excerpt: Honey Boy sees Shia LeBeouf grappling with his past in a highly personal and emotionally devastating drama.
  • James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
  • Candice Frederick @ Elle
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: The screenplay functions better as therapy than as a movie.
  • Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
    • Excerpt: A harrowing personal story that has universal relevance.
  • Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
    • Excerpt: Feeling sorry for LaBeouf is a whole new experience for us.
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: This isn’t just Shia LaBeouf placing blame for his adult struggles at his father’s feet. Instead of forgiveness or blame, LaBeouf’s script provides understanding.
  • Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
    • Excerpt: This is a story by Shia LeBeouf, and as a work of dramatic therapy, it’s quite engaging.
  • Matt Oakes @
    • Excerpt: The Shia LaBeouf renaissance continues with the formidable autobiography ‘Honey Boy’ wherein LaBeouf devastatingly plays his own abusive father in this soul-searching drama about growing up and learning to forgive.
