Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2006)

This is one brilliant piece of art. This movie is in my eyes an instant classic. The story is perfectly sewn together and the direction is original and superb. Never before has a film shown the intensity of drug addiction. Basketball diaries is kool aid in comparison. It is so powerful and moving that it will leave you in awe at the end. The acting is flawless and the plot is hard-nosed and to the point. It doesn't mess around with any aspect of its sincerity. This movie is utterly chilling. There is great re-watching value here as well. Let me just say I believe this movie should be shown in High schools across the nation freshman year, unedited in it's entirety. This movie is a landmark in cinema and I will never forget how it touched me and moved me. Motion pictures like Requiem for a Dream do not ever go away or sink into the shadows of the forgotten. OUTSTANDING.....Wow............. 9/10
