Every substance abuser in denial needs to see this film

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2017)

First off, aside from the importance of the subject matter (the immense struggle that is the denial of substance abuse), I thought this was an exceptionally well made, acted film. Washington truly is an excellent actor of immense talent and the supporting cast is also good.
I rarely find myself engaged in a movie of this length from start to finish but had no problem at all with this one.
Let's just say I know a thing or two about the subject matter (such that I often predicted the events as they happened), thus this film will be especially relevant to those who have or continue to suffer from the oppressive hell that is addiction, as well as the issue of denial.
Finally, the film and story are so good that I would highly recommend it to anyone. Not sure I've ever given a film a ten rating on here but for me this one was an easy decision. Outstanding!
