A hauntingly true portrait of addiction. The unique editing and eerily believable acting lends itself to an unforgettable experience.
It’s just a perfect upsetting movie. No other movie can affect your mind like this one.
Dark movie with a great tale. Not for the light hearted
the way the film is directed is so unique. makes the film incredible.
Tense and emotionally draining. The trip from the highs to the depths of drug taking is exceptional. The portrayal of paranoia is superb
Masterful. Raw. Disturbing. Sickening. There is no unseeing this
This film feels way longer than an hour and forty minutes. It’s an absolutely gut-wrenching look into the world of drug addiction.
Wow. I have never had such varied, visceral reactions watching a movie before.
This film portrays a very graphic and powerful message about addiction. Perfectly done, a must watch.
Will have you wanting to indulge in the obscene, and then wilter away from it. An impressive representation of drugs and its impact on youth
