Haunting and memorable

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2008)

A haunting and stunning masterpiece-This film should be shown to teenagers in health ed class; I will certainly force my son to view it once he is 14 or 15. I will guarantee you anyone who does will NEVER experiment with dangerous, powerful drugs. This film delivers on every level until the gut-wrenching climax leaving you horrified; saddened and a bit sick. If you can stomach it; it is a masterpiece of abuse and the human condition. The individual performances are all amazing and Jennifer Connelly is at her most beautiful best. The visuals are equally impressive; whether you are sober or not. It is amazing although not unbelievable at all; the lengths humans will sink to realized here.
