Very disturbing and a somewhat overrated, but still worth a look if you have the stomach for it

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2003)

I was expecting this film to be a little bit better, considering its rated like #25 in the 250, but all it really was is a bunch of repeated disturbing images that take front seat to the interesting storyline. Ellen Burstyn plays an elderly Brooklyn woman who becomes addicted to diet pills, and fantasizes her own dream world, at the same time her distant son(Jared Leto) is having his own drug problems. The repeated visuals are very weird and are bound to stay in your memory for a long time. The only real reason to see this film is to see a really weird, and somewhat visually fascinating film. I cant give it any more than a 6/10.
