Requiem for a Dream is the best movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2002)

Yesterday I saw Requiem for the third time and now I'm sure of it. Requiem for a Dream is the best movie I've ever seen. Not that I'm a big fan of comparing movies from different genres but I value the emotional value of a film above all other factors. And this is the strongest movie ever, if you ask me.
Ellen Burstyn should have won the Oscar for Best Actress. The fact that Julia Roberts (the whole worlds favorite prostitute) won over Ellen goes to show what a bullshit industry Hollywood can be when it involves kisses on the cheek and designer dresses. Yup, Burstyn deserved the award, for her perfomance in Requiem as Sara Goldfarb (an old lady with great dreams and a horrible destiny) excels all I've seen. Previously Meryl Streep in Ironweed was the best female acting I've had ever seen but now it's Burstyn.
Everything's pretty much perfect in Requiem. Directing, editing, acting, music, script. See it now.
Powerful. 10/10.
