I take it they're going for that Shia LaBeouf supporting actor nomination!

Definitely looking forward to this. Shia's about to make that surprise comeback.

Is there something unique about Shia's childhood that should make me want to see this?

So, LaBeouf was abused by his father, and LaBeouf wrote the script and is acting as the father as an act of catharsis. Many of the events in the film are supposed to be semi-autobiographical.

Shia has said a lot of really stupid things in his time, but imo, you can't deny his acting ability.  He's a phenomenal actor.  If this gets a theatre release, I'll see it.

Yes. Yes to all of this.

Gotcha. Just realized my original post came off a bit snarky but that wasn't my intent. I was legitimately curious why he wanted to embark on a film about his past. Good for him. This must have been quite difficult.

This looks beautiful.
