Shia LaBeouf's documentary 'Slauson Rec', directed by Leo Lewis O'Neil, chronicles the tumultuous events of LaBeouf's experimental theater workshop established in 2018. Intended as a supportive space for aspiring actors in South Central Los Angeles, the initiative devolved into a representation of LaBeouf's antagonistic behavior. The film captures instances of emotional and physical abuse directed at his mentees, raising alarm amongst viewers and critics alike. Audience reactions at Cannes were notably negative, with several attendees walking out, reflecting the film's harrowing portrayal of LaBeouf's conduct and leaving many questioning its purpose.
LaBeouf berates and, in some cases, physically abuses his mentees, leading to a highly uncomfortable viewing experience that has prompted many audience members to leave the screening.
Owen Gleiberman pointed out, 'It's not just that he's being abusive toward these people⦠it starts to feel pointless,' highlighting the film's troubling nature.
