Short description

The story of a child star attempting to mend his relationship with his law-breaking, alcohol-abusing father over the course of a decade, loosely based on Shia LaBeouf’s life.

What's left behind the scenes

Shia LaBeouf admitted that his relationship with his father wasn't as bad as portrayed in the film. Furthermore, to get permission to film, he misled his father and sent him a script missing certain scenes.
Shia LaBeouf was arrested in July 2017 for public intoxication. This occurred in the city of Savannah, Georgia. He was sentenced to 10 weeks in a rehabilitation clinic, but it was later revealed that he was also suffering from post-traumatic stress. It was then that he began working on the screenplay for this film. Filming began two weeks after the actor left rehab.
Shia LaBeouf hadn't spoken to his own father for 17 years before filming this movie.
Shia LaBeouf convinced his father to sign a rights agreement by telling him that Mel Gibson would play his role in the film. In reality, Gibson had already declined the offer to appear at that point, although he generally felt favorably towards both LaBeouf and the project.
At the very beginning of the first trailer for the film, a character played by Lucas Hedges screams “No!” several times, and is then thrown into the air. This can be seen as a reference to Shia LaBeouf himself, the author of a semi-autobiographical screenplay who repeatedly shouted “No!” in a variety of films, and especially in the films of the “Transformers” franchise.
