As grim as grim gets

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2005)

Requiem For a Dream is a downward spiral from beginning to end. I've never in my life experienced a movie that actually drained me, and took away a lot of my spirituality. This really isn't the type of movie to make a comment about, but just to experience the richness this movie drives at, only it isn't rich, it is poor, everything in it is poor, and it's done so beautifully that you can't turn away. It's a roller coaster that starts up hill and then goes down with all the excitement of really being on a roller coaster. It literally took my breath away and I cant compare any movie to it, it's in a field of its own...it's immaculate and not worth commenting I personally think, but then again, I didn't give too much away....
