“I’m attracted to craziness, and you’re just embarrassed because I was like, this amazing thing, like your special creation or something and you don’t like who I am now,” shouts Chalamet. “Who are you, Nic?” asks Carell, to which his on-screen son replies: “This is me, dad. This is who I am.”

The film has already created Oscar buzz for both actors. Watch the first look at Beautiful Boy below.
