Just a sad movie. But wonderfully acted. But you feel for them all in this.
Really depressing, not just the content, but the overall feel of the film. It can get a bit extreme in its typiction of addiction.
Unbelievable performances. Frighteningly accurate portrayal of the effects of alcoholism.
Nicolas Cage is on another level in this film, and Elisabeth Shue is wow! Phenomenal film about alcoholism/abuse
One of the great movie tragedies. The ending is inevitable, but it’s no less crushing. Cage’s best role. Shue is flawless. Great film.
If you think Nicolas Cage is a bad actor watch this film.
Pretty moving story, great performances from the two leads. Most respected Cage performance next to Adaptation
Nic Cage over the top. So is his alcoholic character so it works. E. Shue is vulnerable call girl. Sad, desperate people looking for love.
Haunting. Really makes you think twice on certain things.
A depressing and accurate portrayal of alcoholism.
