District of Cinema Episode 18: 'Honey Boy' and our Valentine's Day picks
The hosts share their praises and critiques of Shia LaBeouf's 2019 film

Tristan, Koz and Spenser unpack "Honey Boy," the deeply personal project written from actor Shia LaBeouf's own experiences. The crew rate Alma Har'el's directorial debut as powerful to various extents; they agree that the performances are solid, yet the narrative leaves a little to be desired. With everyone's favorite holiday around the corner, the crew then recommends their picks for a romantic, or at least entertaining, Valentine's Day.
