I enjoy reading all of your comments

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2002)

Rather than a cautionary drug tale, I felt this movie was about our cultural addiction to narcissism. I don't know if this counts as a spoiler, but at some point, about half way through, each of the characters' fates becomes crystal clear; I found the merciless, unflinching exposition a refreshing, heady break from the pabulum we're usually served.
My friend was in the fetal position at the end of this film. I found it a terrific cure for the Sunday Night Blues, leaving the theater thankful my life wasn't like that.
Have 'enjoyed' it again on cable TV. Twice. (I'm the type that would rather watch one good time thing over and over than several bad things ever.) Glad to see it appears among "imdb" favorites.
