12-year-old Otis is an emerging television star in Hollywood. As his career begins to take off, his father, who once played a circus clown, returns to his life as his guardian. Outside the set, Otis lives with his father in a motel on the edge of the city, enduring the abuse of his arrogant and domineering dad. "Baby Boy" follows two timelines, depicting the controversial relationship between a father and son while exploring their decade-long journey to heal emotional wounds. This is another stunning collaboration between writer/star Shia LaBeouf and director Alma Har'el, creating a painful yet enlightening coming-of-age portrait. Shia LaBeouf's script dives deep into Otis's psyche, uncovering the scars left by abuse and uncomfortable truths; while Alma contributes thrilling, stylistic directing techniques, always keeping the film's warm and moving core in mind. Two outstanding young actors—Noah Jupe and Lucas Hedges—portray Otis at different ages, and their intense performances shape a powerful and earnest character, driven by conflicting emotions of anger and the desire for forgiveness—seemingly contradictory yet authentically coexisting.
