Emotionally gripping, superb film artistry, haunting realism.

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2002)

The main characters in this movie are people we quickly become emotionally attached to, since almost everyone knows a "Sara" or a "Harry". The imagery puts us into their heads and hearts, and we feel their longing as they think they are nearing their dreams, and their pain as they are destroyed through drug abuse. Instead of portraying life as a fairy tale with a happy ending, Requiem makes us face stark reality in all its brutal ugliness. No one can watch this movie and be untouched.
