“Beautiful Friend” (** out of four) was an off-putting character melodrama about a mentally unstable and socially isolated young man (Adam Jones) who veers out into the world and tries to find a compatible partner who will accept him in spite of his limitations and emotional problems and baggage. Film is aloof and weird, much like its central character. Not completely without merit and has a few scenes of intensity and insight but pretty tough-to-take as a whole.
