“As a glorified form of drama therapy, Honey Boy is fascinating,” we wrote of Shia LaBeouf’s upcoming film, a “barely disguised autobiography” that follows the travails of a young actor named Otis Lort (Noah Jupe) and his leech of a showbiz dad (LaBeouf) in Hollywood. Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges co-stars as a teenage version of Otis, and the trailer opens with him on the set of what’s clearly a Transformers-like tentpole. Experimental R&B artist FKA Twigs also appears in what’s her feature film debut.
